The 2012 Indiana early migratory bird season dates have been submitted to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service by the Indiana DNR.
As in other years, these dates are not final until the USFWS approves them, which typically happens by the end of August. The season dates fall within the framework provided by USFWS, so no changes are anticipated. A later Wild Bulletin will notify you of approval or change.
