Deer Reduction Zones Deer Reduction Zones, previously called urban zones, give hunters opportunities to harvest deer in defined urban areas, in addition to statewide bag limits. The Reduction Zone season is Sept. 15, 2015 through Jan. 31, 2016. The bag limit for the Reduction Zones is 10 deer, of which only one can be antlered. Individuals hunting in a designated Reduction Zone who are attempting to satisfy the Reduction 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 Reduction Zone bag limit. The Reduction Zone bag limit is in addition to all other bag limits. See the hunting guide for deer bag limits. A Reduction Zone license has been established to replace previous requirements to possess a regular archery, extra archery or bonus antlerless license. The Reduction Zone license allows an individual to harvest one deer per license in a defined Reduction Zone. Hunters attempting to satisfy the Reduction Zone bag limits must have a Reduction Zone, resident youth hunt/trap, lifetime comprehensive hunting, or lifetime comprehensive hunting/fishing license, or meet a license exemption. A valid license is required for each deer taken. Purchase a license. The season does not override any local ordinances restricting shooting of firearms and bows. Where allowed by local ordinances, firearms legal for deer hunting can be used in Reduction Zones from Nov. 15, 2015 through Jan. 31, 2016. Hunters must obtain permission from landowners to hunt on their property. (For a private land permission form, see Permission to Hunt on Private Lands.) Reduction Zone licenses are not permitted on Division of Fish & Wildlife properties. Deer Reduction Zones may be altered annually at the DNR director’s discretion based on deer population management needs. The map is at.... indnr.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Viewer/index.html... |

So what is the purpose of having a reduction zone in Tippecanoe County, this is all with in the city limits. Last I knew Lafayette & W. Lafayette ordnances would not allow as much as an air gun to be fired in city limits. I do agree the Tippecanoe County reduction zone needed modified but I didn't think they would more or less eliminate it.

A friend of mine has a spot thsy is just in it and holds deer. |

A friend of mine has a spot thsy is just in it and holds deer. I still bet that what ever reduction is done with these new boundaries is going to be not much more than a handful. I'm not arguing the need to reduce the total reduction numbers since I seem to be low on deer numbers on my property but reducing the area to someplace that is going to be almost illegal to hunt is just going to cause more problems than it's worth IMO. |

Doug, I promise you will only have to help me get one buck out this year.  |
