The Indiana State Police Post at Sellersburg will conduct a Driving Under the Influence Enforcement Check Point in Washington County beginning in the evening hours of August 27, 2014 and ending in the early morning hours of August 28, 2014. 

Motorists that are not impaired can expect only short delays of 2-3 minutes while passing through the check point. 

The 2014-2015 fall hunting season has arrived with the opening of squirrel hunting season over the past weekend..

Squirrel season will continue through Jan. 31. Hunters may harvest both gray and fox squirrels, and can harvest up to five squirrels per day.

Indiana’s abundant squirrel populations offer great hunting, and squirrel season can be an opportunity to introduce beginners to hunting.

When hunting, be sure of your target and beyond, respect property rights and get permission, and drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration.

To hunt squirrels, Indiana residents must purchase the annual hunting license for $17 ($7 youth consolidated license), and nonresidents must purchase the $80 annual hunting license or the $31 five-day hunting license ($17 annual youth hunting).

The DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife has begun providing beginner squirrel hunting workshops as part of its “Hunt, Fish, Eat” program.

To purchase a hunting license, go to IndianaOutdoor.IN.gov.
