I am bringing my 3 boys and my Dad up
To Indiana for a week of muzzle loader hunting in December. First week of December. I am pretty clueless on what to expect. I am from Alabama and I am hoping any hunting in Indiana is
Gonna be better than good hunting in north Alabama. Any tips, suggestions etc… would be appreciated.

Have to try and find deer to keep my boys interested. Bringing a 11 , 14 , and 5 year old up to Indiana. Bringing my Dad as a extra set of hands. Gonna be a good time either way.

I used to hunt hat area for a few years on a lease. There were definitely lots of deer in the area and some potential for giants. There was an outbreak a year or two ago that may have hit the herd though. Good luck! I hope it's a great trip for your family. It's a pretty area. Are you hunting private or public?

It’s actually with a place up there called Bushycreek. Seems like a nice older gentleman that runs it and it’s pretty cheap. Supposed to be around 2000 acres of huntable farms and super kid friendly. I would love to come up and hunt public land but my boys are quite ready for it. I am hit the point where all of my hunting is focused on them.

Good luck! Sounds like you will have a nice setup for the boys. Great to get them out in the woods. We do have some nice bucks in the state but don't tell everyone  |

That looks interesting and priced fairly IMO |

That looks interesting and priced fairly IMO Especially when you consider that a non-resident license is included in the price and youth hunters hunt for free with a paid adult. I wonder if I can pass for 17 years old? LOL! |

Reading through their site it seems very reasonable.
My issue is with their wording since firearms doesn't have an "either sex tag" and they say 2 additional doe tags are the responsibility of the hunter to buy.

1.Each adult hunter can take a single deer unless he chooses to purchase up to two (2) additional antler less tags from the Indiana DNR. We do not charge any additional fee if the adult hunter elects to harvest these additional antlerless deer, however the hunter must purchase the additional tags. www.bushycreekwhitetails.com/frequently-asked-questions/ |

The place seems like a good fit for us. I am only interested in my kids seeing deer. Haha. If they can see deer it will be well worth it. The price includes lodging and meals. We are staying in a 6 person cabin on one of the farms. I reckon we will probably just wing it and try to stay away from the main camp. Hunting with a bunch of kids is a little different. 😁

Would love to hear how it goes. You should be in the deer and have a great time with the kids.
