If you need an Indiana license for the weekend, you better buy it now.

The portion of the Indiana DNR website (www.state.in.us/dnr) through which licenses are purchased will be down for emergency repair from 2 a.m. (EST) Saturday to 11:59 p.m. (EST) Sunday, Nov. 10-11. During this time, license purchases will not be available online or at any license retailer.

Deer hunters can also save themselves time today and avoid the last-minute rush by purchasing their firearms season license. The deer firearms season starts Nov. 17.

The CheckIN Game system also is unavailable this weekend. In order to check game, hunters will need to visit a check station.
