I will be out on Oct 1st. Wouldn't miss it. I may skip hot weekends after that, but I will be in my favorite stand on the 1st . It never fails I see at least 1 good buck opening weekend. I'll let an arrow fly one of these years.

How many of the 40% could have or was killed with a regular lic? An estimated 28,231 deer were killed with "bonus antlerless" license. That's the only data they give, about 19% of the total kill.

The only data point we have for the number of hunters that take more than 2 deer is from the 2010 survey. www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/files/fw-MR_1034_2010_Deer_Hunter_Survey.pdfPage 28 shows a table with the percentage of hunters that took 0-8+ deer. Doing some math with the numbers, you'll see that 4.6% of hunters surveyed took 4+ deer, totaling 31,223 deer. There is a bit of a mis-match of the total deer taken versus the calculated taken because of the 4.1% of respondents saying they "didn't know" how many deer they took. So less then 15% of Hunter kill more then 2 Deer.... The better question is how many deer are killed with a regular lic vs antlerless permit ? Yes, 10.2% killed 3+ deer. But, those 10.2% accounted for around 40% of the total deer killed.

Set your gun outside while getting ready for the hunt, or put it in the back of your truck. This will get the scope acclimated to the same temperature as outside so it doesn't fog immediately. If you're getting fogged after sitting outside for a good while, then you may look into wiping the lenses with a bit of Dawn/water solution or get some RainX wipes.

4.10% don't know how many deer they took, that's interesting. 6326 hunters had no idea what they shot that year? Troubling isn't it? I mean really....? I would say, more than likely, they didn't read the survey correctly or misunderstood. I can't imagine the 300 or so people (about 8000 surveyed) didn't know how many deer they killed.

Your question of how many hunters led me figuring out how they got the 36000 number. So depending on the unknowns, the number is somewhere between 31k and 36k.

What would the number of hunters be that represent that 4.6%? I've seen this study, would love to see a new one done too! The study says they used a population size of 154,303. So 4.6% would be 7098 hunters. I agree this should be done more often. I think a survey should be required to be completed each time a deer is checked in. Since it is already online and the webpage built, just add more questions.

Just curious...where were you positioned when you were flying the drone in the video? If you pause the video at 1:14, you will see a group of trees on top of a small rise at the end of the fence line, I'm behind those trees. I was about 1000ft from the drone.

Got mine today and I typically wear E width as well but these are definitely wider than normal and even a little looser than a 13. Will be easy to wear thick socks with them.

Didn't read the entire thread and maybe it was posted, but what is the actual cost of one of these with picture taking abilities, and are they hard to fly? I'm sure if I bought one my maiden flight would end bad. I have around $700 in mine, but they can be found for cheaper. They are VERY easy to fly and have "smart flight" features like Point of Interest, Auto-Route via GPS, and automatic "Return to Home" if you lose signal or the battery starts to get too low.

I have a feeling that we'll be reading several stories this year on sites like this where someone flew their drone over peoples homes and in front of windows or over a pool playing "high tech peeping tom", or used them to harass hunters or deer and the landowners ends up shooting the drone down or going over to the neighbor's house who was flying the drone and smashes their drone to pieces and kicks their rear ends. These drones have been out for years already. More and more are being purchased, but I still don't think it will be an issue worth worrying about.

Though this case seems to have left a sour taste in many folks' mouths, this isn't the first time a law has been passed governing how we can hunt/fish/trap.
IC 14-22-35 Requiring the department to establish a hunter safety course and the department must designate a CO to administer the program.
IC 14-22-7 Individuals may not hunt migratory waterfowl without a stamp issued by the department.
IC 14-22-8 Individuals may not hunt game birds without a stamp issued by the department.
IC 14-22-10 Individuals may not fish, hunt, trap or chase on private land without consent of landowner or tenant. Also regulates taking wild game across state borders.
IC 14-22-9 Regulates how an individual may fish (equipment restrictions) on state owned land. Also regulated minnow and crayfish handling.
IC 14-22-11 Regulates licenses and permits.

They've " heard" lol Tells ya right there that they are clueless Exactly...... Why even start a hear say thread ? SMH... The hearsay isn't on tynimiller's part, it's on the folks he was talking to. This thread serves as a notice to new, potential members that may have been turned off from registering.
