DNR put-and-take pheasant hunt reminder

DNR put-and-take pheasant hunt reminder
-----------------------------------------------------------

DNR put-and-take pheasant hunts begin this Saturday, Nov. 19. Pheasants will
be released for hunting at Atterbury, Glendale, Pigeon River, Tri-County,
Willow Slough and Winamac Fish and Wildlife areas and Roush Lake.

DNR wildlife biologist Mark Reiter says about half the put-and-take hunt
reservations remain unfilled. Put-and-take pheasant hunt reservations can
now be made online at:
www.IndianaOutdoor.IN.gov.

The hunts begin Nov. 19, and typically run for the next nine days. Hunts
will not be available on a first-come-first-served reservation method at the
property, as in past years.

Put-and-take hunts are $15 per person and the bag limit is two birds of
either sex. A hunter filling his or her bag limit in the put-and-take hunt
may not take any more pheasants that day.

Hunters will be able to select the date, property, and property location for
their hunt. Hunting reservations will be available until noon on the day
prior to the hunt date.

Applicants need to supply their hunting license number in order to register.

A valid hunting license and Indiana game bird habitat stamp privilege are
required to hunt pheasant. Pheasant hunters should wear a solid fluorescent
orange outer garment such as a coat, vest, coveralls or hat.
