The Indiana House of Representitives voted last week on a Bill(H.R. 1231) that would allow for rifles to be used for our Deer Season starting this fall. It passed the House with an overwelming vote of 91-0. The Indiana Senate is supposed to vote on the Bill this week(2/8/16) or next. The proposal allows for rifles of .243 and larger to be used on private property ONLY.
The bottom line....Do yourself a favor and beat the rush of thousands of Hoosier Hunters who will be adding a rifle or new barrel to their collection. Here's the link to H.B. 1231

UPDATE....
HB1231 made it out of Senate Natural Resource committee with a 11-0 vote.
From what I was told, there were two amendments to the Bill:
1. Rifles will only be legal in Southern Indiana.
2. Must be in a stand 10' or higher.
HB1231 will now go to the Senate for a vote....

Varmint101....Exactly! We can use virtually any caliber with a handgun but are limited to .243 and 30 calibers in rifles. It makes NO sense. In addition, it will be reviewed in 4 years so there is a possibility that we could invest a lot of time and money in a deer rifle, only to have the use of it taken in 2020.
