Early migratory bird 2009 season dates
The 2009 early migratory bird season dates have been submitted to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service by the Indiana DNR as listed below.
These dates are not final until the USFWS approves them, which typically happens by the end of August. The season dates are within the frameworks provided by USFWS, so no changes are anticipated.
Indiana’s requested seasons have never been altered by USFWS after submission; however, there is always the slight possibility of change, so the dates below should not be interpreted as being final.
Bag limit, possession limit and licensing information can be found at wildlife.IN.gov.
