The new rule proposals are up on the NRC website. Several proposals. You need to sound off with your input and let them know your thoughts. The language for the "new" archery season is below, note the dates and see if they stay that way during this process. I know everyone has an opinion on this, and has already addressed it on some threads, but if you truly want your opinions counted either respond via electronic means at the second link below or attend an open house.... www.in.gov/nrc/files/misc_fw_rules.pdfwww.in.gov/nrc/2377.htm312 IAC 9-3-4 Season dates and bag limits (c) The archery deer season is from September 15 through the first Sunday in January. 312 IAC 9-3-3 Equipment for deer hunting (b) During the archery season established in section 4(c) of this rule, an individual must hunt deer only with the following equipment as follows: (1) With a long bow, recurve bow, or compound bow that has at least thirty-five (35) pounds pull with a valid license identified at section 2(f) of this rule. (2) From October 1 through the first Sunday in January with a crossbow with a valid license identified at section 2(g) of this rule.

Are they dropping the orange requirement? I believe they propose to replace the lined-out language with the following addition: SECTION 2. 312 IAC 9-2-15 IS ADDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS: 312 IAC 9-2-15 General requirements for hunter orange on ground blinds Authority: IC 14-10-2-4; IC 14-22-2-6 Affected: IC 14-22 (a) An occupied ground blind must have at least one hundred forty-four (144) square inches of hunter orange that is visible on each side of the blind from one-half (1/2) hour before sunrise to one-half hour (1/2) after sunset when the hunter is required to wear hunter orange in accordance with IC 14-22-38-7 or 312 IAC 9-3-2(u).
