Below is the bill that would allow fenced hunting in Indiana. I know many of you share Paula's and my own long held belief that this practice should be banned in Indiana. The DNR has tried to stop it, now we have to keep the legislature from changing the law.
I have heard that the law might be in front of a committee next Wednesday at 10:30. We need to find out for sure, but no matter when the public part is held, we have to have lots of people there. I bet the supporters will have 300. We have to have more.
I went to two of the meetings the DNR had. The supporters outnumbered the hunters and sportsmen that want this type of hunting banned by a large number. If that happens again, this will probably be allowed in Indiana and it will be our fault. Please call everyone you know and get them there next Wednesday at 10:30am--can someone try and confirm this time and date.
Also, start calling your state legislators. Let them know you oppose hunting of deer or elk behind high fence. This is the last step of this long fight. Please help me get people out for this.
