Amazing what DNR-established bag limits can do to conserve all kinds of game animals!! And, they can do it without reducing the number of days a hunter can potentially hunt using any DNR-legal weapon in the existing season structure. There are thousands of conservationist hunters in Indiana using high-powered rifles, shotguns, handguns, and muzzle loaders. And there are thousands of conservationist hunters who use vertical bows and crossbows. We should not accuse a hunter of not being a conservationist just because of his/her choice of weapon.


May all our hunts be safe, enjoyable, and deeply appreciated.
