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...

Yes we were very surprised he was the one drawn. He almost didn’t apply due to being drawn last year. The property we were selected for appears to be a sideways L. The two properties we have been selected for have both large in acreage. Last years was about 120 acres and this one is 135. From...

It looks like we got White County 1. Anyone with any experience hunting that one?

The results are out for the first set of pheasant draws this year as well as the IPLA hunts. I was unsuccessful in being drawn this year for either hunt but my father was drawn (two years in a row for him) for November 24th. We had a great hunt last year just east of Boswell in Benton County...

The advice you guys have given has been great! I don’t have any experience chasing solely sharpies so anything to help me get headed the right way is greatly appreciated. I live in Southern Indiana and only have wild quail to hunt in my part of the state. I have been to South Dakota (mostly...

Thank you all for your help. It looks like I will need to do some planning. Thank you again!
