Squirrel Hunting Season as it now stands….

Squirrel

North of US 40 Aug. 15, 2005 - Dec. 31, 2005
South of US 40 Aug. 15, 2005 - Jan. 31, 2006

The bill to change that..

www.in.gov/apps/lsa/session/billwatch/billinfo?year=2006&session=1&request=getBill&doctype=HB&docno=1087

I don't understand the rationale behind this.

Comments?

Woody,

The only thing I can think of would be enforcement consistency... under present reg, if someone has squirrels in their possession and transporting them between Jan 1-31, they can say they were shot south of US 40.

I don't know if the original split date was based on nesting/breeding dates for the northern vs. southern part of the state...?

I've always thought that the differing dates was a dumb idea anyway , how much difference could there be in the breeding activity between northern and southern squirrels anyway ? A few days perhaps ? It wouldn't make a dime's worth of difference either way .
