The Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced, “Indiana’s reciprocal agreement with the state of Ohio that allowed people who live in the Buckeye state and own land in Indiana to hunt and fish in the Hoosier state without an Indiana license, has ended.” Shortly after Ohio made its announcement, Indiana quickly responded. The termination of the agreement came as part of Ohio’s budget submitted by the Ohio Legislative Service Commission: “Requires a nonresident owner of land in Ohio and the owner’s children and grandchildren, if applicable, to purchase a nonresident hunting license, deer or wild turkey permit, fur-taker permit, or nonresident fishing license by applying the exemptions in law revised by the act for landowners and their families only to Ohio residents.” Now, non-resident landowners no longer have that privilege. Under the old agreement, if an Indiana resident owned land in Ohio, he/she did not need to purchase a hunting or fishing license. In a recent move that have many interstate hunters and anglers shaking their heads, Ohio ended its hunting and fishing reciprocity with Indiana.
