🎯 Indiana’s archery deer season began October 1, and more than 13,000 deer have already been harvested. Conservation officers are reminding hunters that baiting using food, salt, or mineral blocks to lure deer is illegal. Areas remain “baited” for 10 days after removal of these materials. Recent violations in District 1 (Kosciusko and Wabash counties) prompted the DNR to post examples online. Officer Gannery Htoo emphasized that baiting disrupts fair chase and increases disease risk among deer. Hunters are encouraged to review DNR guidelines and report illegal activity.
