Turkey Hunting Guide

The 2011 Indiana Turkey Hunting Guide is in PDF format. You can download it to a mobile phone capable of reading PDF files, or print it from a computer as a single document.

The guide includes basic information on license requirements, bag and possession limits, season dates, and equipment regulations.

It also has a county-by-county list of public hunting areas, from Yellowwood State Forest in Brown County to Blue Grass Fish & Wildlife Area in Warrick County. The 10-page list includes the property name, phone number, hunting opportunities, available acres, and other amenities, such as camping or shooting range.

In addition to basic information, the guide provides hyperlinks to complete language on hunting rules and regulations in Indiana, plus a hyperlink to a searchable database of mandatory check stations where successful hunters can take their turkey.

GUIDE BONUS: DNR Wildlife Biologist Steve Backs discusses the turkey season in these videos.
