Game Bird Habitat Area reserved pheasant hunts
Mail-in application due Sept. 19
Online application deadline, Oct. 3
The DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife offers reserved hunts by random drawing on Game Bird Habitat Areas in northern Indiana.
Hunters can apply for the pheasant hunts by completing the 2008 Pheasant Hunt application in the 2008-09 Indiana Hunting and Trapping Guide, or they may apply online after July 1 at IndianaOutdoor.IN.gov
All applicants will be notified of the drawing results by mail. Successful applicants may bring up to two hunting partners.
Game Bird Habitat Areas are managed specifically for ring-necked pheasant. Since 1986, hunters have harvested more than 12,500 pheasants on the managed areas. This year, tracts in Jasper, Benton, Newton and White counties will be open for hunting. The dates for the special hunts are Nov. 7, 8, 12, 15, 19, 23, and Dec. 6, 13, and 20.
For the 15th year, a one-day pheasant youth hunt has been reserved for youth hunters under the age of 18. The youth pheasant hunt is Nov. 28.
To apply, complete the Pheasant Hunt application in the 2008-09 Indiana Hunting and Trapping Guide, and mark the Youth Hunt box for Nov. 28.
Youth hunters applying for the youth hunt date may not apply for regular hunt dates. Successfully drawn youth hunters must be accompanied by an adult and may invite one other hunting companion.
These Game Bird Habitat Area reserved pheasant hunts are not put-and-take hunts. Hunters can register for DNR put-and-take hunts online after Sept. 1. Stay tuned to Wild Bulletin (www.wildife.in.gov) for put-and-take hunt application updates.
