Hunters can now apply for reserved hunts at?on.IN.gov/reservedhunt, the one-stop information spot for the hunts. These hunts follow science-based wildlife management to maintain healthy wildlife populations for all people to enjoy.

The online method is the only way to apply for the hunts listed below. No late entries will be accepted. Applicants must possess a hunting license that’s valid for the hunt for which they apply.

Applications must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. ET on Sunday, Oct. 27. More specific hunt information for individual properties is available on the reserved hunt webpage listed earlier.

Hunters will be selected through a random computerized drawing. An email will be sent to all applicants when draws have been completed. Applicants will be able to view draw results online within two weeks after the application period closes.

In this system, hunts without a registration fee will follow the same process as those with a fee. Applicants must add a hunt to their cart and place an order to submit their application. If the transaction total is $0, the applicant will not be asked to enter credit card information.

To view draw results, applicants can log into their online services account or click “View hunt draw results” on the website.
