I figure my title might get some response. My Grandpa in PA is 91 and his health is starting to go down hill. I thought he was not going to be able to hunt this year but he got a permit to hunt from a car. I had never heard of this. Do they do this in Indiana?

I know that Maryland has a similar accommodation for handicapped hunters. Not sure about IN.

Indiana does, but I am not sure of the criteria.

It's my understanding that anyone can hunt from any veh or boat as long as it is not under power and you do not shoot from or accross a roadway. There is an Ask a Conservation officer forum. I'm sure they will give you an answer.

Standard procedure in much of the west, and perfectly legal.

I'm sure they will give you an answer. You are correct for a boat, but I don't think the same is true of vehicles or four wheelers. I agree - ask the CO forum would get you the best answer. |

I'm sure they will give you an answer. Dont think they would give you a permit to do so, if it was already legal. persons hunting from a stationary vehicle must have a permit and a placard placed in the wdow visable from 50 feet away. www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/files/fw-DisabilityHuntPermitReg.pdfI have cervical stenosis and degenerative disc disease in my back and one working lung do to fibrosing mediastenitis and was given such permit, last year. |

Buddy of mine had hip replacement, and 20 yrs later they started to deteriate he reiceved a permit to access all the DNR park fire roads, logging roads, etc. with keys to the gates so he could access te property to get to areas otherwise he couldnt walk to, he then left the vehicle but I believe he could of hunted from it as well and that was in Indiana !
Good Luck to you !

I know, the parks in my area have certain sections for disabled hunters. You do not get full run of the state forest. They are usually at the far edge and really small area compared to the size of the park. They also allow other hunters (non- disabled) in the same area to contend with. they will give you a map and a key, once you take them your permit you received from the DNR.
