INDIANA – If you know a youngster who’s curious about hunting, take them out for Free Youth Hunting Days on Saturday, Nov. 29, and Sunday, Nov. 30.
These two free days offer any youth (17 years or younger) the opportunity to hunt in-season game species, such as deer, squirrel, and rabbit, without a hunting license. All youth hunters must be accompanied by an adult who is at least 18 years old and has a valid hunting license unless exempt from needing a license under regular season guidelines.
If you previously had a child or other person linked to your account, you will need to re-establish that link in DNR’s new license system. The process functions differently from the previous license system, so please allow ample time to familiarize yourself with it.
• Link a youth under 13 years of age with an existing account to your own account
• Add and link a youth under 13 years of age who doesn’t have an account
• Link an account for someone 13 years or older to your account so that you can purchase on their behalf
In the previous system, anyone under 18 qualified for a youth account. In the new system, this has been lowered to those under 13. This change will impact how you manage a child’s account.
