State park to close for deer reduction hunts

Brown County State Park will be closed Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 12 and 13, and Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 26 and 27, for deer reduction hunts.

Deer reductions help control browsing by deer to a level that ensures habitat for all plants and animals.

Only people selected from the draw can participate in the hunt. Applications and information for next year’s deer reduction hunts will be available in summer at wildlife.IN.gov/5834. The application deadline is usually at the end of August for the year in which reductions will take place.
