Did Indiana go to full day turkey hunting, instead of quit at noon?

When did public ground hunts go back ? And actually the quiting time was 12:00 Eastern Standard Time which was 11 am here. I think they changed to all day hunting 6 years ago.

I believe 2009 was the first year to change the hunting hours back on FWA's. According to the guide...
All FWAs, J. Edward Roush, Mississinewa and
Salamonie lakes have spring season hunting
hours one-half hour before sunrise until
noon for properties on CDT and until 1 p.m for properties on EDT.
The signs at Sugar Ridge FWA, say "local" time. Which if you walk across the road in some places is an hour different.

I believe that HNF and any US govmt. ground is all day hunting. DNR ground is quit at noon local time. I'm going to double check though.

Did Indiana go to full day turkey hunting, instead of quit at noon? I have a note in one of my journals that 2002 was the first year that Indiana went to full day (1/2 hour before sunrise to sunset) spring turkey hunting. I believe this article verifies the year but I'm open to correction if someone knows better. Im curious too... www.indianagameandfish.com/hunting/turkey-hunting/in_aa041703a/I do know that Indiana's first fall season was in 2005. |

I am sure the HNF and all state forest except those listed are all day hunting.

That is right. Only the specified FWA's are until midday. All the other state and national forests are still all day.

funny you brought this up. I often think back about the times we hunted near or on Patoka lake, we would be on the lake fishing just after noon and a lot of the times we would hear a bird fire up and hammer for several hours after noon lol! we never could get those birds to gobble b4 noon  They must have been some where else on the roost and traveling to that area around noon to tease the fisherman. we would often talk about "man is season was just in all day" I have since stopped hunting the area for another location so not sure what ever happened to those birds |
