indiana hunting rifle law??

[warhawk77]

I have not been able to find the list of what rifles I can use for hunting coyote. I know I can't hunt deer with a rifle but I can't find that listed anywhere.

Anyone got a link so I can be sure I'm legal ?

Thinking about 7.62x54r

7.62x54r is perfectly legal for coyote hunting. Just make sure to have a safe back stop and know what's behind your target.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Use your squirrel rifle, the .300 Winchester Magnum.

Found on the DNR > Furbearer site, under the Predator Calling section.

"There are no restrictions on hunting hours or firearms for hunting fox and coyote."

DNR: Furbearer Regulations

IANAL and YMMV.

Thank you I read right over that the first time. I was worried I couldn't use FMJ 7.62x54r and having trouble finding them HP.

Can't wait to start

No problem.

I just happened to catch it while skimming. Seems like an odd place to just casually mention that. I would have expected it to be explicitly called out in a separate section. Or at least bold.

Good luck out there. It didn't happen if there aren't any pics.

 

[BlueEagle]

Yeah, I'm interested in this as well. In the dense brush and hilly terrain, I think my PSL would be a mean coyote-getting machine.

You CAN use rifles for deer hunting... *sigh*

Just as long as you follow the case dimension restrictions, that is.

It doesn't make a lot of sense, does it?

 

[yotebutcher90]

Kirk, you didn't get my squirrel rifle right, its a 338 Winchester Magnum

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

Nope!

As Kirk says, high-speed rifle projectiles turn into pixie dust when you shoot up at a squirrel, but shooting level or down at a deer means that babies & children will be killed.

[foxxie02]

got it wrong

squirrel hunting= 50 bmg.... thats what you should bring to the hunt

 

[jmiller676]

.45 ACP SMG for 'yotes.

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

Oh, man, I have claymores set up for the squirrels. You mean I just need the .50?

Don't forget about the minorities. Bullets launched into the earth from a tree stand (unless shotgun slugs or pistol bullets) seek out women, children, men in sandals and minorities.

This is the IDNR Magic Bullet Theory.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

It's simply unforgivable that I forgot about minorities & men in sandals. :-(

 

[abraham743]

What I find completely crazy is that I can launch a 243 bullet out of an encore pistol and somehow that is safer than shooting it out of a rifle

 

[Kirk Freeman]

It is a well-known fact that rifles have shoulder things that go up, making them horrifically dangerous.

I wear socks with sandals, I'm exempt, right?

Popped collar too? I think you need both to be exempt.
