If as many say on here is true-- that Indiana restricted rifles to increase deer herd---
IS NOT THAT BEING FRIENDLY TO HUNTERS !!!!!
To give them more deer, a larger herd...Ed
That is all fine and dandy when the herd is small. Now it is more than healthy and I have to dodge about 10 a day on sub-urban roads. Kentucky's herd is also doing extraordinarily well even with every hillbilly with a rifle. Kentucky regulates areas not firearms. In Zones 3&4 the modern gun season is normally a few days shorter and/or harvest numbers more strict. Season is also almost 2 months longer.
