IDNR Sent out Wrong Info

I realize this is hunting related but I put it here because most of you look here first..

Stop the presses. Yesterday's 2006-07 waterfowl hunting seasons Wild Bulletin had a typographical error in the Canada goose seasons.

In the north and SJBP Canada goose seasons, Oct. 29 is the correct date. Dec. 29 was incorrect. The correct seasons are listed below.

Three weekends (one in each zone) are set outside the regular hunting season dates to provide a quality hunting experience for young hunters. Youth hunting weekends are:

North Zone:
October 7 - 8

South Zone
October 14 - 15

Ohio River Zone:
October 21 - 22

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.
