Here's my situation. I have, in the past, gotten a hunting permit from the little calumet river basin development comission. However, it just says "hunting" without any stipulations as to seasons, species, archery, firearms, etc. Its just a blanket "hunting permit". However, the land also is within the city limits of griffith and gary, which both have local ordinances forbidding the "discharge of firearms". I called the griffith p.d. and was told that's solid, no exceptions for legal hunting. I KNOW people hunt there though, i've heard them shooting during duck season and theres dozens of trail cameras and stands up in there. My question is this - whose authority rules? The property administrator (little calumet river basin) or the cityof griffith?

You can have legal permission to hunt from (Property Owner, Manager) but all local laws and ordinances still apply. Regardless of where you hunt you will need to follow all state laws and regulations that apply at the time, BUT when hunting with in corporate/city limits you still have to follow local ordinances.
Example: If you deer hunt, you might not be able to discharge a firearm but might be able to use a crossbow/bow & arrow.
It sounds like the people who you have either seen or heard hunting are just lucky and have not been caught yet. If caught violating these ordinances it would be considered a civil fine. Our recommendation to you is to follow all state laws as well as comply with all local ordinances that apply in your area of interest.
