Sportsman's Benevolence Fund needs your help
The Sportsman's Benevolence Fund is helping put food on the tables of hungry Hoosiers. The SBF provides financial support to various organizations that covers the cost of processing deer that is then distributed to food banks across the state. Hunters willing to help with this program can bring field-dressed deer to a participating deer processor. There is no cost to the hunter, and the venison provides a nutritious meal for those in need. Here's a list of processors by county [ http://church.webatu.com/hfh/butchersearch/butchersearch.php ].

goose
Potato Creek Canada goose hunt dates announced
Potato Creek State Park [ http://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/2972.htm ] will conduct limited Canada goose reduction hunts on Nov. 9-10 and Dec. 14-15.
The purpose is to manage the growing population of Canada geese, which threatens the park's ecosystem and, potentially, the safety of park patrons.
The park will remain open during the hunts; however, Worster Lake and other aquatic areas will be closed.
Hunters wishing to participate must have a current Indiana hunting license; an Indiana waterfowl stamp; a HIP registration number; a current and signed federal duck stamp to take Canada geese; and be at least 18 years old by Oct. 19.
