Quartering and packing deer out in Indiana

Unread postby Peeps22 » Wed Nov 01, 2017 2:54 am

A friend and i have been trying to find out whether or not we can quarter and pack out a deer if we end up shooting one on our out of state trip to Indiana.

I have been going through the indiana dnr site the last week and cant find anything that says you can or cannot do it. Anybody have any insight?

Call your local DNR or conservation officer.

Edit, I see you are from WI, obviously call an Indiana CO.

Yeah that was the next step, just figured maybe somebody had a link handy or could point me in the right direction before i try calling the dnr office down there.

They seem to have a hard time understanding my strong Wiscaaaansin accent the last couple of times ive called about other stuff :lol:

Indiana has a telecheck system now. If you can check your deer in before you move it by using a cell phone you should be good.

When you have your confirmation number that you checked it in? I see no problem quartering and packing out a deer in Indiana.

I bought a frame pack for elk hunting and will use it in Indiana if need be. A friend and fellow Beast member has already done this in Indiana.

Another friend of mine calls his wife and she uses the home computer , then she calls him back or txt him the confirmation number.

Thanks, thats kind of what i gathered from reading on the dnr site but nothing was cut and dry that you can or cannot do it.

Oneflag is correct, the telecheck makes this possible, I've done it a few times.

Not done it yet, but plan to this year if I kill one deep on public. I've got a couple big Duluth packs that should work great for hauling out quarters. As far as I've researched, just use the telecheck system, get your number, then you're good to do whatever you want with it. The only part I dislike about packing out is leaving a pile of ribs and spine laying there, I hate for other non-hunters to stumble on that, so I plan on covering or burying remains.
