They are VERY serious about cleaning up the rules. The deer rules are the very first package. I don't know what's next yet. Probably find out in a month or so.

Thanks Jack. Would the Military and Wildlife Refuge date change include the state parks?

Thanks for the link.
Would the housekeeping amendment now enable someone to track a deer after shooting hours and carry his gun or bow to finish it off, or did I understand it incorrectly.

Thanks Jack. Would the Military and Wildlife Refuge date change include the state parks? The way I read the proposed change it would only affect federal lands. See page 11 of the proposal: www.in.gov/nrc/files/LSA_09_44.pdfJack

So does this mean I can now hunt with someone's elses license whenever I fill my tags?

not the way it is written:
under IC 14-22-11-1 and IC 14-22-11-11, a person must not hunt deer:
(2) with a deer license issued to another person.
Pretty clear that you cannot use another's license.
