Indiana’s 2021-22 deer hunting season began Sept. 15 with the deer reduction zone season. Archery season begins Oct. 1. Many DNR properties allow hunting, so it’s important to be aware of your surroundings while you enjoy refreshing fall weather at a property near you. Consider wearing hunter orange when entering areas where hunters may be present, especially when venturing off trail.
