LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Some Indiana state parks will be temporarily closed for deer hunts in November and December.
Both Clifty Falls in Madison and Spring Mill in Mitchell will be closed on Monday, Nov. 18, and Tuesday, Nov. 19. The parks are being closed to allow hunters to help manage the deer populations in those areas.

Only people chosen from a draw will be allowed to hunt on those days.
Both state park properties will close to the general public on the evening before each of the two hunts.
