STATEWIDE — Indiana’s 2021-22 deer hunting season is underway and the most popular season, deer firearms, begins November 13.
Hunters will be required to wear hunter orange while deer hunting throughout firearms season (November 13 through 28), muzzleloader season (December 4 through 19), and deer reduction zone season (November 13 through January 31, 2022) regardless of what equipment they hunt with.
Many DNR properties allow hunting, so it’s important to be aware of your surroundings while you enjoy fall weather at a property near you. Hunting seasons for several other game species also have hunter orange requirements from November 1 onward, and DNR encourages everyone to wear hunter orange when entering areas where hunters may be present, especially when venturing off-trail.
Questions about deer seasons and regulations can be directed to the Deer Hotline at [email protected] or call (812) 334-3795, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday.
