Huntin4ever Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Just lookin to stir up some opinions about Indiana getting a rifle season.... Indiana has always had a firearms season where legal weapons include shotgun, muzzleloader, and pistol (>=.357 cal...i think?).... My question is with the landslide improvements to muzzleloaders (now accurate to 200yds) and pistols using rifle caliber rounds being legal (like the TC Contender) ....how much longer do you think it will be before Indiana allows rifles too??

otdrzmn04 Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: Indiana Rifle Season....Near Future?? i hope never....opening day can be scary, i always hear people unloading their shotgun at a deer its crazy. i can only imagine someone unloading a rifle across a field 250yds knowing they couldnt hit it at 75yds standing still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3whunt Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: Indiana Rifle Season....Near Future?? maybe they would be able to hit a deer at 75 yards if they were using a more accurate rifle. they would probably take a little better aim knowing that. i'd rather hunt around rifle hunters than shotgunners.. just my 2 cents.

While muzzleloaders and rifled slug guns are approaching 200 yard accuracy, there are people out there that would shoot 500 yards with a high powered rifle. I'd rather not have that in the same woods with me, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierDaddy28 Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: Indiana Rifle Season....Near Future?? Never going to happen. Too populated. It is one thing to have a muzzleloader that shoots 200 yds, but my 25-06 will shoot 500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rhinodog Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: Indiana Rifle Season....Near Future?? Pistol caliber rifles will probably be legal next season. I wouldn't have a problem with rifles being legal to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurkeyHunter Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: Indiana Rifle Season....Near Future?? Can anyone from Indiana tell me why they wont let you guys hunt with high powered rifles? I live in Ky and would hate for them to say we had to switch to shotguns to deer hunt with. If so I would just use my muzzleloader during deer shotgun season id think. I guess Im just curious being our states are so close togther one using shotgun the other state allowing high power rifles? The only think I can t hiink of is I know from driving in Indina you guys have ALOT of corn fields. So taking it with so many open fields people are hunting make it more dangerous? I know when I hunt soe bean fields here in KY with the guys I hunt with know there gun limits and wouldnt even think a shot they know they couldnt hit at. Thanks!

Huntin4ever Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Re: Indiana Rifle Season....Near Future?? As said by HoosierDaddy...Indiana doesn't allow use of rifles due to Indiana being too populated....however, where I hunt....there's maybe three houses per square mile tops....I'm not saying I want a Indiana Rifle season, but gosh could I have killed some giants if I could use the ole rifle....by the way pistols shooting rifle calibers are legal...my hunting buddy shoots 3" groups at 200 yds with a Contender (.35 cal, with a great rest of course).....
