Indiana drivers are most likely to hit deer from October to December, but careful driving could prevent collisions.

The positive case was recorded in northern Indiana’s LaGrange County and is adjacent to a region in Michigan where the disease has previously been detected.

In a lengthy outline on the DNR website, the agency detailed the 17 proposed changes and said it would simplify the process for hunters and reduce confusion.

Timing is a factor in what deer eat. I have found that in the early spring when there are plenty of fresh green leafy plants in my beds, the deer avoid my hosta, but in July, they eat every one of them to the ground.

The city is paying White Buffalo Inc. over $23,000 to coordinate this year’s hunt.

Subsequent offenders can be fined $100. However, there is no mandate to report deer feeding.

More than 300,000 people are expected to participate in some form of deer hunting in Indiana during the various hunting seasons that run through January 31.

Native to the Far East, crepe myrtles can be trees, but in my zone 6 garden, they usually die back to the ground each winter.

The council unanimously approved an ordinance prohibiting deer feeding within city limits. It goes into effect on Sept. 1.
