Here in Indiana hunters can apply for several reserve hunts that extend the one buck rule. Residents and non resident hunters are both welcome.
Here is some information on the applications. A lot of great hunting ops in these locations. I'd be happy to share information on these hunts if someone needs it
Online reserved-hunt applications available July 1
Hunters may apply for a reserved hunt online by visiting
www.IndianaOutdoor.IN.gov and clicking on the “Register for a Reserved Hunt” link, beginning July 1. The online method is the only way to apply.
All applicants must possess a valid hunting license for the hunt for which they apply. All applications must be completed by the application deadline to be eligible for the drawing. Hunters will be selected through a random drawing. All drawing results will be posted at
