2nd Tech glitches hinder pheasant hunt application
--------------------------------------------------------
Due to a second technical glitch, the DNR's put-and-take pheasant hunt online registration will re-open at 6:00 a.m. on Sept. 12. The online registration was scheduled to begin Sept. 1.
"These glitches are not acceptable. We are sincerely sorry and apologize for the delays and problems this has caused our hunters. We are trying to make things faster and better for our hunters and in this situation, it has simply not been the case," said Fish and Wildlife Director Glen Salmon.
When the system failed, patches were made to get it back up and working as quickly as possible, but the system has failed a second time.
The online system did not keep any of the hunter information. Any hunter who registered through the online system must re-register.
Pheasants are released for put-and-take hunting Nov. 18 - 26 on Atterbury, Glendale, Pigeon River (west of SR 3), Tri-County, Willow Slough and Winamac Fish and Wildlife areas and Roush Lake.
The cost for put-and-take hunts is $15 per person and the bag limit is two birds. Hunters will be able to reserve their put/take pheasant hunts online beginning Sept. 12 until noon on Nov. 25 at: www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/
Hunters will be able to select the date, property, and property location for their hunt. Hunting reservations will be available until noon on the day prior to the hunt date.
Hunts will not be available first-come, first-served at the property, as in past years.
