Can’t see the site as I’m not a member of the group, but I’m sure they could all use a break from the hunts. I llike to use them for extra deer each year, but ain’t gonna be mad if they don’t happen. That’s four more days off I’ll have to take on other days in season.

With the properties I have to hunt, and a lifetime license, I feel that I will do better on private ground.

I feel like Harmony could use a 2 year break. I might put in for it when it opens up but those hunts can be crowded too.

I remember as a kid driving through Tippecanoe state park with my grandma. It was awesome to see a bunch of deer just driving around. Definitely would like to see them get a break. Maybe host a couple of hunts every 2-3 years to help keep numbers in check.

I do agree with giving them a break, though I really want to hunt them. I do Charlestown SP and have killed 6 bucks out of 7 years and on the last year which I did not kill out I passed on 2 small bucks I could’ve easily killed. Give em 4 years and then do every 4

I have hunted the parks MANY times and have almost always had a good experience. With the exception of 1 "run in" with a yahoo in the dark and that wasn't a big deal. That being said, I often thought they should reserve a few, especially the flat lying parks for handicap hunters only. I would be happy to volunteer to help retrieve deer if this ever happened.

Does anyone know why? Are the implementing a new draw system? There is no system. Parks were being hunted by "emergency rule" due to overpopulation. That is no longer the case, so state legislators are in back in control. My understanding is there are no Park Hunts scheduled for 2024 . Unless something has changed?

State Park Deer Management Hunt Interim Rule The Indiana Natural Resources Commission has opened a public comment period for an interim rule to permit the 2024 state park deer management hunts.
Public comments can be submitted at NRC's Rulemaking Docket webpage via the “Submit Comments Here” link in the Rulemaking Docket for the Interim Rule: Scheduled Hunts for Population Management. Comments can also be mailed to:
LSA Document #24-268, Interim Rule: Scheduled Hunts for Population Management Aaron Bonar, Hearing Officer Natural Resources Commission, Hearings Division Indiana Government Center North 100 North Senate Ave., Room N103 Indianapolis, IN 46204 The deadline for public comments via either method is Sept. 13.
Deer management hunts have been conducted in varying numbers of Indiana State Parks since the early 1990s. The regulatory process for conducting these hunts is changing, and this year the process includes this comment period for the 2024 hunts.
“The hunts have resulted in successful recovery of native plant life that provides diverse habitat for a wide range of wildlife species ranging from insect pollinators to neotropical migrant birds,” said Indiana State Parks natural resources manager Anthony Sipes.
The process for determining which properties will be hunted, hunt dates, and how hunters are selected remains the same as in previous years.
For more information on this rule, visit the Natural Areas Management on State Parks webpage.
Questions about the interim state park management hunt rule should be directed to Anthony Sipes at asipes@dnr.IN.gov or 317-232-4128.

Government is not known for being quick. This is what it shows on DNR site. The next legislative session is Nov. 21st.
