Ohio River Zone:

Hunters must be 15 years of age or younger to participate and must be accompanied by an adult at least 18 years of age. An adult may accompany more than one youth. The accompanying adult may not hunt waterfowl that day (except light geese and brant during snow goose seasons).

Waterfowl hunters must register with the Harvest Information Program (HIP). Hunters can register by visiting the DNR Website at [url]www.wildlife.IN.gov[/url] (click on "HIP registration"), or register by calling 1-866-671-4499.
