Indiana Announces Applications for Reserved Turkey Hunts
Turkey hunters can apply for a reserved turkey hunt online by visiting hunting.IN.gov from Feb. 4 to March 22. Click on the "Reserved Hunt Info" link. The online method is the only way to apply.
No late entries will be accepted. Applicants must possess a valid hunting license for the species they wish to hunt.
The application process is now consolidated into the online services website along with Licenses, Check-In Game, and HIP registration. A DNR online account is not required to apply.
Hunts without registration fees will follow the same process as those with a fee. For hunts with no fee, you still will be asked to “Add to Cart, Proceed to Checkout and Place Order.” If the transaction total is $0, you will not be asked to enter credit card info.
