The Countdown

Re: The Countdown
I don't know, I'm going to check before the season opens. Although archery equipment is stated, there is no specified archery season in the spring. Years ago a buddy of mine claimed youth deer hunters could take a doe during firearms season with a regular license, and he was right. The rule however was ONLY on private land. He nearly got us in big trouble! The following is copied right out of the 2022 Rules & Regulations.
Season and Bag Limits
Spring 2022 - The spring season is April 27 - May 15, 2022. The bag limit is one bearded or male turkey for the spring season. Spring turkey hunting is allowed statewide.
Fall 2021 - The bag and possession limit for the fall seasons is one bird of either sex, regardless of hunting equipment used or what portion of the season. Fall archery season is statewide. Fall firearms season has specific dates for specific counties (see below).
Fall archery (including crossbows):
Statewide from Oct. 1-31, 2021 and Dec. 4, 2021 - Jan. 2, 2022.
Fall firearms: Oct. 20-31, 2021 in the following counties only:
Bartholomew, Brown, Clark, Clay, Crawford, Daviess, Dearborn, DeKalb, Dubois, Elkhart, Fayette, Floyd, Fountain, Franklin, Gibson, Greene, Harrison, Jackson, Jefferson, Jennings, Knox, Kosciusko, LaGrange, LaPorte, Lawrence, Marshall, Martin, Monroe, Morgan, Noble, Ohio, Orange, Owen, Parke, Perry, Pike, Posey, Putnam, Ripley, Scott, Spencer, St. Joseph, Starke, Steuben, Sullivan, Switzerland, Union, Vanderburgh, Vermillion, Vigo, Warren, Warrick, Washington

Re: The Countdown
I posted it on Hunt-Indiana and was given the same link. Archery in spring season is correct, meaning yes legal. Please just make the call to the DNR to clarify. You are missing out on good hunting time if not. Just trying to help out here.
Re: The Countdown
I know you are, and it greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

Re: The Countdown
Two years ago it was illegal to use a 410 in Indiana so I bought a single shot 20 gauge. I'm trying to get as healthy as possible before the season starts, unfortunately we got bumped off the farm we had to hunt. Public Land here we come.

Re: The Countdown
410 is legal in Indiana with #9 TSS shot now. That started last year.
#9&10 TSS also became legal in all other gauges. I killed my bird at 69yds with #9 TSS. That stuff is unreal, including the price!
Re: The Countdown
Of course it is.
I read a whole bunch about turkey hunting with the 410 while I was sick. I wanted one, but found out they were not legal at the time. Oh well, what's one more gun anyway.

Re: The Countdown
Down to 78 days! We just had a real nice warm spell! It made it into the 40's. Now it's cold again. We aren't seeing turkeys like we usually do but according to the neighbors there are a couple groups around.
I'm just doing the usual Feb stuff here on homestead and thinking a lot about gobbling Tom's and trying to decide which Excal to use.
I hope everyone is well and will have an opportunity to get out their in those spring woods soon!
Take care

Re: The Countdown
Hatchet, we had maybe 6 birds around my house two, or three years ago. Now, we see them everywhere! They must have got the news that there is no hunting round here!
Good luck to you, and the rest of the group here.
