Reserve a spot for put-and-take pheasant hunts

INDIANA – Hunters can now purchase a reservation for put-and-take pheasant hunts online. Put-and-take hunts are no longer available on a first-come, first-served basis at Fish & Wildlife areas (FWAs).

To reserve a spot, click “Apply for a reserved hunt” on the DNR website.  The cost is $30 per reservation. Reservations are non-refundable; however, they can be transferred to another person.

Registrants will receive an email notification upon completion of the reservation that includes their hunt registration ID, date reserved, and property name. Individuals should keep this confirmation for their records.

FWAs participating in put-and-take hunts this year are Atterbury, Glendale, J.E. Roush Lake, Pigeon River, Tri-County, Willow Slough, and Winamac.

All hunters are required to have a current Indiana Hunting License and Game Bird Habitat Stamp to participate in this hunt.
