1)Ask Joe how likely is the average deer hunter to kill a mature Deer(3.5 or older)season wide be it Male or female on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being most likely
2)Ask Joe how we rate in his opinion as a Trophy state on scale 1-10 with 10 being highest and a Trophy being 130" Deer or higher.
Thanks....

Some things I ponder:
1) Does Joe think the deer license structure in Indiana causes an out-of-balance harvest of deer, causing most hunters to harvest only a buck and no does? 2) Does Joe think the license structure pressures hunters to shoot a young buck instead of a doe for meat if they didn't have a chance to harvest a mature buck during their season (provided they would prefer to harvest a mature buck over a young buck) since the basic license only allows for one deer to be harvested? 3) What would Joe's ideal harvest percentage be bucks vs. doe in areas with high or stabilized medium/high deer densities, such as SE Indiana? 4) If he would prefer to see a higher harvest percentage of doe vs. bucks, how would he propose promoting this with the new higher prices of doe tags/deer bundles (especially for out-of-state hunters)? Maybe reduced-priced doe only tags, especially in areas where populations require more doe harvests to balance the herd structure/size?

How does the basic license structure (we presently have, because remember changes are coming) encourage only a buck be harvested? There is only one license which says to harvest antlered deer and then a plethora that are either (if you have not harvested an antlered) or antlerless. Can you flesh out what you're meaning more for better representation of your question to him if posed to him?

Their survey asked the public about Trophy Hunting so it has crossed someone’s mind!

Can you flesh out what you're meaning more for better representation of your question to him if posed to him? Sorry, I was specifically referring to the deer rifle license which is for 1 antlered deer. Rifle hunters who do not want to purchase an additional license (bonus antlerless license) are forced to harvest a buck, which I feel make a lot of hunters settle for a young buck if they have no opportunities at a mature buck. Since the vast majority of deer are harvested with a rifle, many of which I would assume by hunters who purchase only the basic rifle license, this amounts to a lot of younger bucks being harvested. Why not make the rifle license either sex? While I'm on the topic and having just looked at the Indiana Hunting Guide, I have a question. Are you allowed to harvest two deer with a basic archery license? I was reading page 29 and now I'm confused.

Let’s call it a firearms license and not specifically a rifle license. Also, besides the bundle, each deer license purchased is good for one deer. Only one deer for an archery license. It is either sex though.

It is either sex though. Gotcha, 1 deer for an archery license, that's what I've always believed anyway. Page 29 of the Indiana Hunting Guide says for archery season "2 antlerless deer OR 1 antlered and 1 antlerless deer (AND bonus antlerless county quota)" while other seasons like muzzleloader season says "1 antlered deer OR 1 antlerless deer (AND bonus antlerless county quota)" which confused me. I've never noticed it written like that and got excited about the potential of being able to harvest 2 deer with an archery license. Bummer!!

So it looks like some of the confusion is cleared up now, and this is a perfect example of how reading the regulations helps clarify any assumptions or thoughts one might have. As others have said we do not have a rifle license, the only two weapon type specific licenses we have presently are crossbow and muzzleloader the others are not specific weapon as Archery can include compound, recurves, long bows, etc...and firearms license covers many kinds of legal firearms (including muzzleloader) to be used during the firearms season. Few of your questions were posed to Joe and he goes into that more and how it doesn't seem to be the case that any encouragement or pressure is applied as you put it, but I'll let his answer stand alone. Podcast should be live by friday.

Could Joe give a rundown of programs (federal and state) to improve habitat on private ground. I know of some but there doesn't seem to be a comprehensive list.

Thank you for doing the podcast and presenting the questions I submitted!! I just finished listening to it in its entirety and found it informative. I believe Joe and his team are doing a good job for the deer hunters in Indiana and I thank them for it. I'm a non-resident hunter who hunts on my own property in Indiana and love every second of it. The only thing I am far from a fan of is the new price for the non-resident deer bundle. Paying $295 in years past was a little high, but reasonable, so I always opted to purchase the bundle to have the ability to harvest more than one deer. But the new $550 price tag is just too much!! Especially with the inflation we are experiencing now and likely for quite a while longer, some things need to be cut. For me, one of those things is unfortunately the deer bundle. Anyhow, thank you again for your podcast and I look forward to future ones.
