With our first ever Outdoor Expo just around the corner (literally, it's this weekend!) it's got all of use here in a very outdoorsy kind of mood.  If all of this talk of outdoors has you thinking "heck maybe I'll try my hand at hunting! But how in the world do you go about getting a hunting license?"  No worries, if you live in Indiana or Kentucky I've got you covered!

But if that isn't your speed here's a few other ways to obtain a hunting license in Indiana:

2. By Mail
Send your order with the following:

  • Name
  • Date of birth
  • Include a copy of hunter education certificate or card if born after Dec. 31, 1986
  • Complete address, city, state, zip, phone number
  • Height, weight, color of hair and color of eyes

  • Specify the licenses including the season (i.e. deer for muzzleloader)

Send check, money order or credit card number and expiration date for licenses, made payable to Indiana DNR:
