| IWF – Indiana Wildlife Federation annual “live” meeting was canceled due to covid, but was still held virtual on line. DNR NEWS – The DNR announced hunting and fishing license fees were increased this year. Most licenses haven’t been increased since 2006. Here are some examples: for Residents – Regular hunting was $17 now $20, Regular fishing was $17 now $23, Turkey was $25 now $32, Bird Stamp was $6.75 now $11, Deer was $24 now $39, Deer Bundle was $65 now $91. Non-Residents regular hunting was$80 now $90, regular fishing was $35now $60, Deer was $150 now $240, Deer Bundle was $295 now $550, extra doe tag was $24 now $39, Turkey was $120 now $175. As we all know, our license fees support a part of the DNR operations. In 2020 the DNR collected $9.3 million in fees. With that amount of license fees, Indiana received money back from the Federal Government to the tune of $16.8 million in 2021 to be used for wildlife and fish restoration. Winter Activity – If you’re looking for something to do during these cold days of winter, why not build a bird house? The club has Bird House Drawings available if your interested such as: Eastern Blue Bird, Wood Duck, Mallard Nest Cylinder, Bat House, Barred Owl Box, American Kestrel along with Squirrel Nest Box. What a way to start thinking about spring! Drop us a line if you would like to get a copy of these drawings to make your project easier. |
