Antlerless Deer Bag LimitsThe map above indicates the county quota for bonus antlerless deer. If you are hunting in a county that has a county quota of one or more, you may use bonus antlerless deer licenses starting in the early archery season and continuing throughout the firearm, muzzleloader, and late archery season, using the equipment that is legal during the season in which you are hunting. You may take one bonus antlerless deer per bonus antlerless license. These licenses may be used in any county, but you may not take more than the county quota for bonus antlerless deer in any specific county. You may not use firearm equipment to take bonus antlerless deer in any county prior to the start of the statewide firearm season on Nov. 18, 2006. All bonus antlerless licenses can be used with the start of the early archery season on Oct. 1, 2006. New for 2006County quotas now range from 0 to 8. There is no statewide bonus antlerless quota. You may take as many bonus antlerless deer as you-desire as long as you still follow the county bonus antlerless bag limits as well as other deer regulations. (WW - That is a BUNCH of deer if one wants to travel all over the state.) Landowners/lesseesIndiana resident farmland owners, qualified non-resident farmland owners and farmland lessees who farm that land are not required to purchase bonus antlerless deer licenses to take bonus antlerless deer on their property. However, landowners and lessees must still follow the county bag limits for antlerless deer, as well as other deer regulations. Youth/Lifetime License HoldersComprehensive lifetime and youth hunting license holders are not required. to purchase bonus antlerless deer licenses. Lifetime/youth license hunters must follow the bonus antlerless bag limits and all other deer regulations.

It's incredible the number of deer you can take in Indiana.
If you take advantage of all archery, firearm, muzzleloader, later archery, bonus anterless, and deer reduction hunts I think the number is 457.
Is your freezer that BIG!

I know a lot of people's billfold is not that big even at the reduced rates.. Lots of traveling involved too .. .

Lot of hunting pressure, and it's mostly small woodlots, so the deer take it pretty hard each season. Plus there is just not as many as there are down south.

Hard to believe the NE part of the state is still lagging on bonus tags......... Solohunter up here there are more subdivisions than wood lots. the only reason Allen county is a three is because of I69 and 469 deer-car accidents. there is a lot of hunting pressure up here in the N.E. the only public land to hunt is the three reservoirs on the upper Wabash river and Mongo on the Michigan line. you boys down south are really lucky to have the HNF in your back yard. h.h.

Personally I will still stay with my own personal limits of 2 for the freezer and maybe one for helping the hungry. But there are those out there that if they hunt more than one county will feel that they have to fill all allotted tags for each county.

Am I reading this right ? I can take as many does as I want as long as I don't exceed the limit for the county I'm hunting in that day ? I could take 8 in my own county(Harrison) , go next door to Floyd and shoot 8 more the next day , and then go to Washigton and kill 8 more if I wanted to the following day ? I'm nowhere near that skilled anyway , but dayum that would be a lot of does . Man it's good to be a meat hunter here !

I think that a "full freezer is a full freezer". People will stop when they get that full or give away or donate deer meat.
This is basically an unlimited number of antlerless deer that can be taken if a person has the tags and wants to travel some to hunt.

I can remember back when I started Deer Hunting (1972) you could only take ONE Buck per year.

I'll kill my usual three or four no matter what the limit.
People have the amount set that they will usually kill and that is that.
Not sure why we have a ratio of being able to kill 457 antlerless and ONLY 1 buck?
Surely no one thinks that our deer herd’s sex ratio is that seriously out of whack???
What is wrong with this picture??
Someone explain it to me, please.

These numbers are just getting rediculous. I bet the insurance companies are all smiles though. The areas i hunt already have alot less deer than in the eighties. Sometimes i think they raise these limits just to bring in the extra license money and not for management purposes.
