INDIANAPOLIS – Some state park properties will temporarily close this month for controlled deer management hunts.
The Indiana DNR announced Wednesday that controlled deer management hunts will take place at various state parks on Monday, November 15 and Tuesday, November 16, and Monday, November 29, and Tuesday, November 30.
Versailles State Park and Clifty Falls are among the participating state park properties that will close to the general public on the event before each of the two hunts.
Participating state parks will re-open the morning after each two-day hunt.
Only individuals selected from the draw may participate in the deer hunts.
In 2020, a total of 1,243 deer were harvested across 17 state parks and one recreation area. The full report can be viewed here.
