Indiana Bill Imposes Hunting Buffer Zones





An Indiana legislator recently introduced a bill that could restrict landowners from hunting on their own property.

Senate Bill 261, sponsored by Sen. Connie Sipes, D-New Albany, would prohibit the firing of a bullet, arrow, or other projectile within 200 yards of a residence without the landowner’s permission. This would place unnecessary burdens on landowners and would allow neighbors to impose restrictions on sportsmen, gun clubs and local governments that conduct urban hunts to manage wildlife.

The bill awaits action in the Senate Committee on Corrections, Criminal, and Civil Matters.

Anti’s have tried to impose similar restrictions on sportsmen in other states. In 2005, bills were introduced in Connecticut, New York, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Texas that would place unnecessary distance limitations on hunting.

Take Action! Indiana sportsmen should let their senators know that SB 261 is unacceptable. Explain that it infringes upon landowner rights and could allow people to control activities on neighboring properties. To contact your senator, call (800) 382-9467 or use the Legislative Action Center at www.ussportsmen.org.
