Seems like this year is a banner year from the 5 bulletin boards that I frequent. The numbers for Indiana comparison.. can't remember where to find that one. Any help? Is there a day-to-day comparison or week-to-week? Now would be a good time to see where we are at - just before firearms season.

Current reported deer harvest:

29,487

From Sept 15, 2018 to Tuesday, November 13, 2018

The 2017 numbers were recorded on Hunt-indiana.com

Nov. 13, 2017 - 27,416 ...... down slightly from last year at this time...

You may want to redo your math!

We are UP not down.

well heck .... ooopsie, .... thats what I meant, we are up slightly, yea, thats it ... up slightly .... 29K is > than 27K ....... the girlfriend was licking my ear as I was typing ;0) ........... smh

Yeah... they reduced the bag limits now the Kill is up!

Guess it could be the weather... lol

crossbows ........ :0( ......... (much sarcasm implied) ..... more guys out now during the archery seasons .... crossovers dipping in from the other shoulder fired seasons ...

Last year the opener of the firearms season was down 71% as compared to 2016 due to the lousy weather. If the weather forecast holds for this weekend, I fully expect those numbers to end up much closer to "average" this season.

thank goodness I got it done prior to Sat .... dont have to put up with the orange hoards on the State land Sat. ... I'll be out this afternoon and the days leading up to the opener trying for a nice Doe.... Good Luck to those that do go out Sat. whether it is on state, federal or private lands.... be safe .... btw, has anyone noticed the times on the posts being way off.... it reads 4:15pm and it is actually 10:15AM .....

I know you aren't a fan of the firearms season, but I always look forward to it.

thanks for the time zone info.....didnt know that ... as for the firearms season, I dont mind firearms and have killed deer with a ML, Slug Gun and my .44 Black Hawk and out of state with rifles, its just that for myself, I find BOWhunting so much more rewarding and satisfying now .... some of you guys should try firearms season on a heavily pressured F&W area, you'd see what I mean, I know some here do, and it can be "interesting" at times to say the least .. some have their own slice of heaven with private or leased land .... I'll hunt thru thru firearms season, I just stay in the Archery only area...

time test ..

time test ..

time test ... finally ;0)

Current reported deer harvest:

48,769......

From Sept 15, 2018 to Sunday, November 18, 2018

+ 11,000 (+ -) from last season ..... yesterday was a nasty day up here, sleet, rain/snow... once you left Nw In. it wasnt bad weather wise ...

I killed a doe yesterday morning. Very good movement day in West Central IN.

Seems like there is a lot of movement and dead deer compared to last year. I was in the monsoon on opening day 2017 and I can tell you - it was horrendous. I'm going out this weekend after Thanksgiving. Hopefully bucks are still moving.
