Urban Deer Hunting Season has Opened: Urban Deer Zones. Anyone been out ?
Urban Deer Zones
Urban deer zones give archery hunters opportunities to harvest deer in defined urban deer zones, in addition to statewide bag limits.
The urban deer zone season is Sept. 15, 2012 through Jan. 31, 2013. The bag limit for the urban zones is four antlerless deer, or three antlerless and one deer of either sex within an urban zone. Individuals hunting in a designated urban deer zone who are attempting to satisfy the urban deer zone bag limit, must harvest an antlerless deer before harvesting an antlered deer (a.k.a. earn-a-buck). The earn-a-buck requirement only applies to the urban deer zone bag limit. The urban deer zone bag limit is in addition to all other bag limits. (See deer bag limits)
The provision does not override any local ordinances restricting shooting of firearms and bows. Hunters must obtain permission from landowners to hunt on their property. (Download the private land permission form.) An urban deer zone license is needed for each deer taken. Urban deer zone licenses are already included in the resident youth hunt/trap, lifetime comprehensive hunting, and lifetime comprehensive hunting/fishing licenses.
The urban deer zones are as follows:
Indianapolis – all of Marion County, Hendricks County east of State Route 267; southeast portion of Boone County bounded by State Route 267, Interstate 65, State Route 32; and the portion of Hamilton County south of State Route 32.
