A couple of issues discussed at yeasterdays meeting............

Escaped deer from Pennsylvania CWD positive farm:

NONE of the escaped deer from the Seymour Indiana farm were harvested during deer season. Yellow tag deer #47 is a large buck that was purchesed from Pennsylvania, the farm has tested positive for CWD. If these deer are not found all deer in the pen will be depopulated,several does are also missing.

IDNR will soon set trail cameras trying to locate these missing deer.

Questions asked is where is funding coming from for this mess, From Indiana, no Federal money left for CWD control.


License increase..........

IDNR projects a $3 million deficet for next five years. Intend to raise ALL licenses/stamps(resident) by an average of $5.00 each. Non resident will be higher increase. Projected in crease will be by April 1.


IDNR was challenged to look hard at commercial licenses. This would take legislative action as they still control costs there.
