New DNR Webpage Dedicated To Deer

INDIANAPOLIS – The Department of Natural Resources has unveiled a new webpage dedicated to white-tailed deer in Indiana.

The site offers information on deer hunting, deer biology, how to respond to nuisance der, the state’s deer management strategy, scientific reports on harvest trends and disease, and more.

“Whether you’re getting into deer hunting, need to keep them out of your garden, or just found an ‘abandoned’ fawn, this will be your place to go,” said Falyn Owens, a deer research biologist with the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife.

Archery season is underway and firearms season begins Nov. 15.

Hunters can use the Web page to research licensing requirements and regulations, download a permission form for hunting on private land, learn how to donate venison, and watch videos on tree stand safety, meat preparation and recipes.
