Apply for reserved spring turkey hunts, Jan. 6 – Feb. 19, 2020

Hunters can apply online for a reserved turkey hunt by visiting on.IN.gov/reservedhunt and clicking on the “Reserved Hunt Info” link. The application period is Jan. 6 through Feb. 19. No late entries will be accepted. The online method is the only way to apply. Applicants must possess a valid hunting license for the species they wish to hunt.

The application process is now consolidated into the online services website along with licenses, Check-In Game and HIP registration. An online account is not required to apply, so there is no need to log in.

Please note that in this new system, hunts without a registration fee will follow the same process as those with a fee. For hunts with no fee required to register, you will be asked to “Add to Cart,” “Proceed to Checkout,” and “Place Order.” If the transaction total is $0, you will not be asked to enter credit card information.

For draw hunt results, there is a “Click Here” link on the home page, or you can log in to your online services account. The link from the home page will only show hunts that you registered for when the date of the hunt is still upcoming. Logging in to your account online is required for you to see the full history of your past hunt registrations (previous years).
