Go back and read…. That wouldn’t stop you from hunting would it? I did read it prior to commenting. No it wouldn’t stop me from hunting! I shot 6 and kept 2 last year. The remaining 4 were donated to family/friends/ hoosier feeding Hoosiers. Anyone can hunt reduction zones and anyone can hop counties to shoot tons of bonus antlerless. I haven’t done the full count , but I think it’s safe to say anyone could acquire the legal tags to shoot 100+ deer in a given year, including 10-20 bucks , without depredation permits. I’m just not sure why 3 is where you draw the limit lol not poking at ya , just curious and would like to understand better.

Is the 10 extra deer under the reduction limit, PER REDUCTION spot, or is it 10 per hunter state wide? I always wondered.

Bundle , reduction , and all of the park / w Fwa hunts was my thinking .... park hunts don’t count to normal bag right ? So assuming you got in at 8 of those hunts , bundle and reduction .... I thought it’d be doable. You questioning me now has me questioning myself.... I’ve never done park hunts so maybe I’m wrong with the way that works ? Educate me if so !

I think Regs say statewide reduction bag limit or something. Let me find a book. Edit : I see nothing suggesting multiple (10)’s, or a new set per area. I think it’s 10 tags per person in the state. I’ve never gotten past using 3 reduction tags I don’t think , since I always try to fill the bundle before I get there.

I’ve never done park hunts so maybe I’m wrong with the way that works ? Educate me if so ! One state tag and one reduction tag. There’s two park hunts you get drawn for both that’s one buck each so we are up to 4. Then military draws. Not sure how many of those you can get drawn for. One firearm and one archery maybe so there’s two more. I can see 6 maybe in a very unlikely scenario. I’ve killed three bucks before with state, park, and military on a couple occasions.

I’ve never done any of those hunts but hope to next year , so I’ll read up on it before august. I had looked at this list and assumed there was opportunities at them all. Thank you for the info !

With the right circumstances you could kill 4 bucks just in big oaks, 2 state parks, state, reduction, and I got drawn for muscatatuck muzzle loader which would have been 9 total bucks.

Nobody is gonna put up those kinda numbers. Ya it's legally possible but not physically possible. I wish I had that many possible days to hunt. You would need to hunt every day of every week of the entire season. ... ya right..

Well shoot fire, I'm just happy to be able to get out and hunt. Harvesting any deer is just a huge bonus anymore no matter the size. In all reality I probably spend more in gas during the whole deer season than most do on a hunting lease, but I don't have the upfront cash for a lease. Then again I reckon there are far worst things to spend hard earned money on that probably won't last near the time as deer season does.
