Before I get too far into this, I'm just going to say that I'm absolutely going to call the DNR and double check any advice I get on here, but I figured there's people here who are familiar with what I'm asking about first.
This morning I got an email from the Indiana DNR talking about deer reduction zone hunting. I am on the edge of it which puts me in a nice situation where I can use a rifle on my land and still be in the reduction zone. As I understand it, the rules look like I can use a rifle to hunt with throughout the whole season of Sept 15th through Jan 31st. So in my situation, I would normally buy a deer bundle license, but now in addition to that I'd buy the reduction zone license and that should have me covered from Sept 15th through Jan 31st for one long giant firearms season so long as I follow the "earn a buck" policy and pop a doe first.
I'm not sure I understand that right, and I did some reading but I figured I'd ask here as well.
Thoughts?
