Deer Archery Season Kicks Off

Last updated on Monday, October 2, 2017

(UNDATED) - Deer archery season begins Oct. 1.

You have several choices of what deer license you can purchase.

A deer bundle license can be used in all seasons (except the deer reduction zone season) and gives the hunter the privilege to harvest up to three deer (3 antlerless or 1 antlered and 2 antlerless deer). If you hunt in more than one season, this is the license deal for you.

Cost:

$65 for Indiana residents

$295 for non-residents

$65 for non-resident youth

Resident youth should purchase a youth hunt/trap license that includes deer hunting privileges.
