INDIANAPOLIS – The fee for put-and-take pheasant hunts at DNR Fish & Wildlife Areas will increase from $25 to $28 for the 2015-16 season.

The fee increase is due to increasing costs in acquiring pheasants.

Pheasants are released for put-and-take hunting on Atterbury, Glendale, J.E. Roush Lake, Pigeon River (west of S.R. 3), Tri-County, Willow Slough and Winamac FWAs. The bag limit is two birds of either sex, except at Pigeon River, Willow Slough and Winamac FWAs, where the limit is two roosters only.

Hunters can reserve put-and-take pheasant hunts athunting.IN.gov/5834.htm from Sept. 1 until midnight on Nov. 29. Registration is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

No hunts can be reserved at the property.
