The Indiana DNR’s reserved-hunt applications can now be made through the Division of Fish & Wildlife’s online services application at secure.in.gov/apps/dnr/portal/#/home.
You can use the same website to purchase hunting, fishing and trapping licenses, use the Check-in Game system, get a HIP Registration number, make a donation, or purchase a gift certificate.
You do not have to log in to an account to register for a reserved hunt or to purchase a put-and-take pheasant hunt – just click on “Register Now” on the reserved-hunt link. If you wish to use a gift certificate to help pay for a put-and-take hunt, or see the full history of your past reserved- hunt registrations, you will need to have an online account.
As in the past, registering for a reserved hunt still requires the applicant to have a valid hunting license.
For draw-hunt results, there is a “Click Here” link on the home page, or you can log in to your account to see the results. The link from the home page (without logging in) will only show hunts that you have registered for when the date of the hunt is still upcoming.
More information about reserved hunts that are available can be found at hunting.IN.gov.
