Indiana Firearms Deer Season gets underway Saturday and runs through Sunday, December 2nd.

Hunters wishing to donate legally harvested deer as well as citizens looking for meat to help feed their families should check out the GiveIN Game Program on the Indiana Department of Natural Resources website.

This is a free exchange of deer meat from the hunter to the family in need.

Meanwhile, Indiana Conservation Officers remind hunters to wear required hunter orange clothing and equip ground blinds with one square foot of hunter orange on all sides, as required for the first time this year.

Conservation officers remind hunters to positively identify the target and take caution when hunting from elevated stands.   

Take a cell phone and tell somebody where you will be on your hunt and when to expect you home.
