Today marks the beginning of firearms season for deer in Indiana. It runs for the next two weeks.
The most common injuries during deer hunting seasons are accidents involving tree stands. The Indiana DNR reminds hunters to know their equipment and wear safety gear.
Also, if you are not a hunter you should still wear hunter orange when near or in the woods.
The deer firearms license allows one deer to be taken with a license, and it must be a buck. If you want to take a doe with a firearm during the firearms season, a bonus antlerless license, resident youth combo hunt/trap license, deer license bundle, or lifetime license is required.
