I didn't save the LINK of course and I should have but I did save a screen capture of the timeline projected. I have to assume that isn't carved in stone either. God Bless

God Bless The only thing missing from that is the public online input that is going on right now at - www.in.gov/nrc/2377.htmScroll down to ... Fish and Wildlife: Biennial Rule Amendment Package .

I honestly haven't been keeping up on this proposition but I've always believed large caliber rifles would be allowed one day.
The members on here are usually pretty in turn with what's going to pass and what isn't.
Regardless of what side of the fence your on, are the chances this passes pretty good?

I don't believe anyone here can answer the question: "Are High Powered regular rifles be allowed in Indiana for Deer Hunting?" One thing certain, this proposal will have to jump through many-many hoops before allowing HPR in Indiana. Population (people) density will be a major factor in a decision.

My opinion is that they will be legalized even if quite a few oppose it. I feel that the DNR holds the belief that there is no real safety concern, and will overlook comments regarding that aspect. So if the DNR doesn't give that any weight, then there really aren't any other big arguments left.

Old school thought that has been proven in many states with lots of people more than IN and wives tales to not matter with all the HPRs currently being used safely in out state at this time .Shotguns are far more dangerous than any HPR in a normal deer hunting scenario .IMHO A good HPR hits a stick and disintegrates most times or breaks up .Shotgun slugs tumbles and bounces with most its body and energy in tact farther than HPRs do by a long shotand thats a true fact .I would rather be in a woods with HPRs than Shotguns any day .The DNR knows all this to be true they have studied it to death .

I know this is off topic but has there been anymore talk of changing the bow season start date to Sept 15th?
Also to put my two cents in. I know I may be a minority in this but even if they allow us to use HPR my savage 220 has been getting the job done for awhile now and I don't think I would change my weapon of choice.

That's the beauty of having choices. If it passes, you can use an hpr or keep using what has served you well.

all about the money, no real concern for safety or affect on the herd. Just like when crossbows passed

Greetings Rifles are not dangerous, we use them here all the time, could drop my whole country into one of your state's, but people may be. It's all down to self control and common sense, Regards Billy

so where does it end? What is next, night hunting? Hunting from vehicles? How easy does it have to be? You want the honest answer to this It will end when the state has very few deer and that is the goal here as in most populated states with deer issues. After we get the herd down to manageable numbers in most areas that can be killed by LEOs ,COs and sharp shooters who can at that time control whats left.They will do it by shooting them at night with silenced rifles while the public sleeps and never knows its happening . Thats when it will end when they do not need us hunters anymore and its not as far away as most will ever admit here .No more worrying about hunters what they want .No more gun issues bow or season issues .At that point farmers will be able to handle it on their terms as licensed shooters . Believe it or not hunters and the pro opportunity guys are our own worst enemies because we want more and pull that trigger .Thats ok though I will not likely be breathing when that all shakes down anyways but its not that far off at this rate.One day we hunters will hunt our way out of bussiness wait and see guys .Guns and ammo are under attack every day .How long will we last ??They have to do away with the need to hunt first then its over . I mean do you think that state Gov wants to spend money on the DNR Heck they really want them gone no expenditure if they are not needed . I have always said if we want to keep hunting trophy mentality and long seasons / high over all bag limits must go .

I am one that is currently hunting with a shortened case HPR. I would like very much to not have to shorten them. Ballistically the two rounds aren't that much different. I am managing to not kill people by accident. Weird.
