Handguns may now be used during the firearms season of deer hunting, November 15 to November 30. However, not every handgun can be used in deer hunting. Conservation Officer Mike Foder explained handguns acceptable for deer hunting must be .38 .caliber (.357 inches) or larger and must have a barrel length of four inches or more. The handgun cartridge case, without bullet, must be a minimum of 1.16 inches in length. The use of full metal jacketed bullets are unlawful and muzzle loading (cap and ball) handguns are also unlawful. Handgun case length is measured from the back of the case to the case mouth. Case lengths are based upon manufacturer’s maximum case lengths. The 1.16 inch case length requirements was specially included to eliminate the .38 special which has a maximum case length of 1.155 inches. Not Allowed Handgun cartridges not allowed include: all handguns chambered for cartridges less than .38 caliber (.357 inches); and all cartridges regardless of caliber that have a case length less than 1.16 inches.

National 4-H Week Oct. 5-11

The spirit of 4-H can be witnessed daily in Indiana through the thousands of youth involved, says Maurice S. Kramer, head of the 4-H and Youth Department at Purdue University. His comments came as Hoosier 4-Hers prepare to join the nation in observance of National 4-H Week, October 5-11. This year’s theme is ‘ ‘4-H For Youth, For America. ” “Our basic 4-H projects have remarkable strength for teaching the youth of the 1980 s,” he said. “In addition, the Indiana program is one of progress and flexibility, which offers youths and parents science and technology relevant today.” A part of the Purdue University Cooperative Extension service. 4-H nrn x,iaca non-iormal educational learning that are unequaled anywhere, Kramer says. “The program extends knowledge and technology to young people, helping them become self-directing, productive and contributing members of society.” Throughout the nation, 4-H educational activities are organized and conducted in community and family settings. Volunteer 4-H leaders, professional extension personnel, parents, and others help determine and implement youth programs. During 1985-86, more than 148,000 Hoosier youths were reached through 4-H programs, due in large part to the 14,846 adult volunteer leaders and 7,379 junior leaders who amplify the efforts of extension personnel, 1 Kramer says. j He cited some new and reviseq programs of recent years: , • •This year a Consumer and Family Sciences Workshop w.' is initiated in conjunction with tfoe 1986 Indiana Home and Fairly Conference held at Purdue j n June. About 50 4-H members attended, participating in ses sions designed specifically for them, but also participating in p ro i grams offered to adult. •With many youths operating riding lawn mowers, 4-H aqded a compact tractor program. Youths learn maintenance an d safety, as well as driving skills They are also permitted tc, compete in local contests, with winners going on to area and s tate contests. •On the international le'> e l, Indiana 4-H members traveled this summer to Togo, West Africa. The group studied developmentassistance projects in Togo, visited Peace Corps volunteers and agricultural projects, and studied Togo’s government, economy and culture. •Another international i-H op- - portunity enabled 28 Indiana 4-H members to visit in Japan as part of the LABO International Exchange program. The saihe program brought 60 Japanese students to Hoosier home s for a month. A video taps was developed by the Indiana 4-H Department to familiarise U.S. families in 15 states w,th the foreign exchange student program. Also, a computer Program was written to assist participants in learning the Japanese language. *Here in Indiana, 4-H personnel, .along with school corporations and legal professionals, developed Legal Educa j O n to Arrest Delinquency (LJFaD). The program is designed M develop positive attitudes related to laws, law enforcement ofirials and rights and propert’ of others. LEAD is a part of Qe state’s 4-H Citizenship Educatjn program.

and a 9 by 19, .45 ACP, .45 Auto, .45 automatic, .45 colt automatic, and .45 auto rem. Foder stated the automatics are not allowed due to the capability of “someone dumping rounds on the range.” Regulations have also been set to keep from having numerous deer injured, remarked Foder. Allowed Handgun cartridges allowed include .357 magnum, .41 magnum, .44 magnum, .44 special, .45 Colt, .45 Long Colt, .45 Winchester Automatic, .35 Remington, and all “wildcat” cartridges meeting case length and caliber requirements. Legal shotguns include 10, 12, 16 or 20 gauge shotguns, loaded with slugs flintlock or percussion cap muzzle-loading firearms of 44 caliber or larger loaded with nonjacketed bullets. Hunters using handguns during the deer firearms season must possess a deer hunting shotgun license along with a personal protection permit or hunting and target permit. It is illegal to possess a muzzle-loading firearm, shotgun or long bow and arrow while hunting deer with a handgun. The handgun shall be visible at all times. A flap holster worn outside the clothing is considered visible. This ruling over-rides the unlimited personal protection . permit, Title 35. Other rules for those using handguns include: a handgun may be possessed in the field before and after legal deer shooting hours if

•The Indiana 4-H Roundup this summer featured a former law enforcement officer who has been fighting drug use among youth. He told vividly what drugs can do to the individual. The Roundup also offered the 4-H members a first-hand look at college life and promoted career awareness. More than 1,600 youths participated. Although these state, national and international programs are a part of the program, the success of 4-H remains at the local level. Local units encourage members to “learn by doing” through 4-H projects ranging from alfalfa growing to photography, and from clothing to wildlife management. "iiic ‘oroject’ is one of Indiana’s rg os t powerful teaching tools,” 3ay S Kramer. “It is a programmed sequence of lessons and hands-on experiences designed to lead the member through a learning process . ” Indiana’s top 10 4-H projects, baseq on enrollment, are creative arts, electric, foods and nutrition, gardening, horse and pony. junio r leadership, photography, textiles and clothing, swine and wildlife. But several newer pro-

there are no shells in the magazine, cylinder or chamber; and handguns are not allowed on military areas or Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge. Licenses to carry handguns, issued by other states or foreign countries, win be recognized according to the terms, but only while the holders are not residents of Indiana. General Rules One deer only may be taken or possessed during the firearms season whether by shotgun, muzzle-loading firearm or handgun except for those hunters possessing a special antler-less deer permit for special hunt counties. The legal shooting hours are sunrise to sunset. A muzzle-loading firearm is legal if it is capable of being loaded from the muzzle and is loaded from the muzzle. Multiple barrel firearms and firearms with revolving cylinders are legal of loaded from the muzzle. A muzzle-loading firearm may be possessed in the field before and after legal shooting hours even though a charge remains in the barrel only if the cap has been removed from the nipple in case of percussion arms and or if the pan has not been primed in the case of flintlock arms. Deer must be transported to an Official Deer Checking Station with in 24 hours of kill for registration. Deer hunting seasons are: Archery, October 11-November 14 and December 6-31; Firearms, November 15-10; Muzzleloading firearms, December 6-14.

jects that are growing rapidly include aerospace education, computers, dairy goats and shooting sports such as archery, riflery, and safety. The expertise needed to establish new programs comes largely from academic researchers and specialists in Purdue’s Schools of Agriculture, Consumer and Family Sciences, and Veterinary Science. But other Purdue departments also assist in the development of 4-H projects. “Programs, projects and activities must be relevant, as well as educationally sound, if they are to meet the needs of today’s 4-H member,” Kramer says. During National 4-H Week, Kramer says he encourages 4-H members, leaders, alumni and volunteers to share with others the Educational value of the Indiana 4-H program. But most of all, he says, parents must become aware of the opportunities that 4-H can offer their children. Parents can contact their county extension office or write to the State 4-H office, AGAD Building, Purdue University, West Lafayette.
