Northern Indiana conservation officers have been kept busy this season with illegal deer hunting activity. Here are some of the cases being investigated:
Witnesses reported an illegal deer kill in LaGrange County where officers say that a 15-year old teen admitted he shot a deer with the muzzleloader, did not fill out a temporary transportation tag, and also shot 2 antlerless deer during the special youth season and did not deliver those deer to a state deer check station or check the deer in online within 48 hours of time of kill. The teen's muzzleloader and deer, a very small antlerless deer was seized as evidence. The deer was then donated to the Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry Program. The charges will be forwarded to Lagrange County Juvenile Probation.

You really don’t have to have a lot of gray in your hair to remember when deer hunting was largely a northern Michigan endeavor. There was a long tradition of going to deer camp somewhere north of Clare, and reports of traffic jams on northbound I-75 a couple of days prior to Nov. 15 were commonplace.
That trend changed through the 1990s, and somewhere around the turn of the century, the pattern reversed itself. More hunters spent more time – and killed more deer – in the southern third of the state than in the northern Lower and Upper peninsulas.
