At the September NRC Meeting there will be a decision passed down as to accept or deny crossbows in all Indiana deer seasons. Even though the DNR and the Administraive Law Judge have given their OK it is still up to the NRC Commission.

The Natural Resources Commission will next meet on September 20, 2011, at 10:00 a.m., EDT (9:00 a.m., CDT), at the Garrison, Fort Harrison State Park, 6002 North Post Road, Indianapolis, Indiana. The September agenda is now available at.....

I attended the NRC meeting this morning and after much debate with an amendment to shorten the proposed crossbow season to the month of October, firearm season and the late archery season this leaving the pre-rut and rut to vetrical archers. As understand it that amendment as a "substantial change" and was not supported by "written comments". The Administrative Law Judge said that because of that we would almost have to start at square one again. That would extend the process even further than the 2 1/2 years it has gone through already. The person who proposed the amendment said he did not want to put us through any more and withdrew the amendment and made a motion to adopt the original proposal of all of archery season. It was seconded and passed unanimously.

Crossbows for everyone in all Indiana archery seasons beginning the 2012-2013 season.
