Is it mandatory to sign up for a draw hunt on all dnr properties or are there some you have to and some you don't?

Atterbury is just draw the first few days or week, but open after that, just need to check in.

I'm in northern Indiana, laporte county to be exact. Not sure where atterbury is. Perhaps someone in my area can inform me about the fwa's where I'm at. Thank you though

I don't have a clue what is up that way. The DNR webpage will have all the information that you're looking for. This year will be my first year of harvesting a turkey, not sure what happened the last 3 years.

Thank you though Jasper- Pulaski FWA, Kankakee FWA, (Starke county), Kingsbury FWA (Laporte county), Lasalle FWA (Newton county), JE Roush Lake (Huntington county), Willow Slough (Newton County), Mississinewa Lake, (Wabash, Grant and Miami counties), Pigeon River FWA, (Lagrange county), Winamac FWA, (Pulaski county). Go here to learn about these properties: www.in.gov/dnr/I expect there are more in your area. I listed these because they are part of the Youth Turkey Hunt properties and I researched the entire list yesterday afternoon for my grandson.

Thank you sir. I did a little digging last night and found most are by draw. Kankakee is self service and need to look at JP still.

Looks like JP is by draw. They use the term preregistration. Guess that means draw as stated below, quoting DNR:
2016 WILD TURKEY DRAW HUNT Applications accepted online Jan. 25 - March 21 Turkey hunts are offered at the following properties: Aukiki Wetland Conservation Area, Big Oaks National Wildlife Refuge, Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge (regular season and youth season), Salamonie Lake, Mississinewa Lake and Atterbury, Chinook, Crosley, Deer Creek, Fairbanks Landing, Glendale, Goose Pond, Hillenbrand, Hovey Lake, J.E. Roush Lake, Jasper-Pulaski, Kingsbury, LaSalle, Pigeon River, Sugar Ridge, Tri-County, Willow Slough and Winamac Fish & Wildlife Areas. Hunt dates vary by property. Applicants are allowed to apply for one property and one associated hunt date. On DNR Fish & Wildlife Areas and DNR reservoir properties, successful applicants are NOT allowed to bring a hunting buddy, but may bring a non-hunting observer or assistant. At Muscatatuck, successful hunters may bring a buddy, but only the drawn hunter can hunt. At Big Oaks NWR, a buddy is REQUIRED and the buddy can hunt. You don’t need to register your buddy at the time you apply.
