INDIANA – Heads up, hunters – The Indiana Private Lands Access (IPLA) program has switched to the reserved hunt system, meaning you can no longer apply for that program’s hunts through the self-service sign-in system.
IPLA hunt applications and information can now be found on the reserved hunt webpage.
Properties from various agencies participate in reserved hunts, including Indiana DNR Fish & Wildlife areas (FWA), State Parks, National Wildlife Refuges (NWR), and private lands.
The reserved hunt application window spans from July 2—Aug. 6 for various species:
- Dove
- Squirrel
- Teal and Early Goose
- Deer: archery
- Deer: primitive muzzleloader (NWR hunts)
- Deer: firearms (NWR & FWA hunts)
- Deer: youth (NWR hunts)
Keep in mind that participating areas are managed by various agencies and may have unique restrictions that each hunter must follow. Visit the reserved hunt webpage to learn more about draw hunts and how to apply.
