Well, that was certainly entertaining. 26-24. It passes. I watched about an hour prior and up to the bill reading today. Really pretty lame stuff. The guy introducing this bill just said "this bill introduces high powered rifles for deer hunting and I hope you support it". The red X's started popping up real fast and I knew it would be a close vote.

If rifles are safe anywhere in Indiana, it would be there.

So if this survives the conference, can the DNR add private ground and possibly the entire state into the regulations themselves?

Those things can be done in the conference committee, and should that fail, I'd assume that the DNR could do it. Who knows if they can do it quickly, or have to wait another year though.

If the bill comes out of Conference Committee, and eventually becomes law, (and does so with the existing introductory language in place) I believe IDNR will be required to adopt an emergency rule to comply by the July 1, 2016 deadline in the bill. Here is current introductory language in the bill:
1 SECTION 1. IC 14-22-2-8 IS ADDED TO THE INDIANA CODE 2 AS A NEW SECTION TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE 3 UPON PASSAGE]: Sec. 8. (a) Before July 1, 2016, the director shall 4 adopt rules under section 6 of this chapter, including emergency 5 rules adopted in the manner provided under IC 4-22-2-37.1, to 6 establish a deer hunting season during which hunters may use 7 rifles on state owned hunting areas subject to the following:
In my opinion IDNR simply does not have time to propose rules by the “normal” route and have them officially adopted by July 1, 2016.

Conference Committee – If the bill passed by one chamber is then amended by the other, the amendment(s) must be agreed to by the first chamber before the legislative process can be completed. Should the first chamber dissent (refuse to give its consent), a conference committee of two members from each house is appointed to work out a version of the bill that will be satisfactory to both houses. All four members must sign the conference committee report and it must be favorably voted on in both houses. Once this has been accomplished, the bill goes to the governor for signature.

The way the bill reads they will only be legal on Splinter Ridge, if the property manager allows them.

They use HPR's just fine in flat states too... However, those "flat" States have less people. With this immigration issue, Indiana could possibly have 12 million people + soon, and less land to hunt on.

I can only speak for my area. In Harrison County we have a good mix of public and private land and many land owners will allow you to hunt their properties. It is always a top three county for deer and turkey. I have hunted private and public on opening day of deer seasons in the past and have never felt nervous about other hunters. Down here we are safe and use good sense when hunting.
The only places I have ever hunted and have been worried are the state park hunts. It seems like in these places people refuse to give way to the others that were there first.

I wonder how many nays (if any) can be attributed to the various amendments and how many just didn't like the bill at all.
