I suggest you go to the Indiana DNR website and submit a query to them. Although laws vary from state to state, the general concepts are the same throughout North America. They will have a method for contacting them. Better you look for them, than to have "them" come looking for YOU.
The wildlife is generally considered "property" of the state and is managed for the benefit of all. That stated, the regulations such as season, bag limits, methods of harvest, ect... are regulated by the state and apply to both private and public property.
Be aware that the laws limiting search without a warrant and entry upon private property apply differently to Conservation Officers (game wardens, ect), and generally allow them to routinely enter upon private property while involved in normal enforcement activities which encludes inspection of licenses/ID's and taken wildlife by those determined to be hunting. (Entry to buildings, vehicles, ect still generally require warrants absent exigent circumstances). Also, in most states once they are present, any other violation of ANY state, federal, and in some instances local ordinances can and probably will be enforced. (ie; controlled substances, waste disposal, stolen property, outstanding warrants, ect, ect....) So, don't let the "governor" get in your "business" because you decided to whack a bunny illegally !!
Just as driving upon a public road requires you to be familiar with rules and regulations for operating a motor vehicle, taking or attempting to take wildlife whether on public or private property requires you to be familiar with the rules and regulations relating to that.
Remember, if you want good and accurate information you need to go the "Horses mouth". If not, what you get may resemble what comes from the other end of the horse. Most of the game and fish agency offices spend a large amount of their time answering such questions, so don't be afraid to talk to them. They are public employees and are paid by your tax dollars. Get your moneys worth.
It may save you some money and heartburn you don't need if you don't.
