Access Program Providing Land Enhancements (APPLE) offers quail, pheasant, and woodcock hunting opportunities on private property.

These hunts are allocated through the online reserved hunt system and applications are accepted between now and Sept. 23.

The online application is the only way to apply. Hunters may apply for one hunting period. Although the hunting period is two days, selected hunters may only hunt one day of the two-day period. Successfully drawn applicants will be allowed two hunting partners.

Draw result notifications will be emailed within two weeks of the application deadline.

All regulations and bag limits apply. You can register for this hunt and check the status of the draw, once it is available, at www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/5834.htm.

APPLE offers financial incentives to landowners who allow controlled public access hunting on their private lands. Wildlife biologists also work with landowners to establish and improve habitat. For more information about APPLE, please visit www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/9572.htm.
