I have always gone to SD first week of November. A few years ago it was in the 70s for three of the days we were hunting but generally temps are milder. I took a 1 year old pup about 5 years ago and even if you aren’t killing roosters there are generally plenty of hens to work your dog on. I...

https://www.in.gov/dnr/fish-and-wildlife/hunting-and-trapping/reserved-hunts/ This should help. It says that the November hunts will start applications on August 22nd. December hunts to follow after that.

That is fair. I have absolutely no experience chasing quail in your part of the state. I would agree that row crop and specialty crop has changed a lot of the habitat. Where I am located there is a decent amount of land that is unable to be utilized so it leaves fence rows and brushy draws where...

I am also in Washington, IN. Good to see another bird hunter around here.

I don’t know if I agree with this. In my part of the state there are quail. Last year I had a hunt where I found 7 coveys in under two hours. Keep in mind that is a personal record for me. But just this past Friday I took the afternoon off work and found 3 coveys in 3 hours. Those were all...

My father, a family friend, my two wirehairs and I made the 3 hour and 20 minute drive today to hunt White County 1. We did not flush or see a single pheasant on the entire property. We hunted the entire allotted time and covered the entire property. We did see some pheasant droppings but very...

I have never hunted unit 2 of Goose Creek but most of the birds we found on unit 1 were along the creek that makes up the north border of unit 2. A few birds actually flushed And flew to unit 2. We saw two people hunting the unit but they never came along the creek while we hunted and we hunted...

I hunted Goose Creek 1 last year in mid-December. We saw 5 roosters and roughly 20-25 hens. The property is kind of divided into two sections (east/west) found all the birds with the exception of 3 along the creek on the south edge of the property. 3 of the roosters were along the creek on the...

Always good to get into some wild birds in Indiana!

I believe Goose Creek is the property just east of Boswell, IN. If so then I hunted it last year on the very north end which I believe was Goose Creek 1 (there are 3 areas for that property). Which Goose Creek number did they draw?

Looks like you had a good hunt. Just curious how many total birds you saw? How many hunters?

On my home from SD after 4 days of hunting. I hunted 70% private and 30% public in the north central part of the state (one of the worst drought areas you could find this year). I had an opportunity to shoot a limit everyday and did two days. The bird numbers are definitely down but we’re...

I have hunted the Mitchell area. Had a great time. For the last several years we have hunted up around Eureka. The bird numbers don’t seem to be as good as around Mitchell but there seems to be a lot less competition.

Thank you! We had a great time last year killing three roosters in early December (should of had 4 but one was winged and ran across the county road onto private property) We were not expecting much so anything was a great time to us. In 9 years with three of us applying we have been drawn...
