I don't see what the big deal is about high fenced hunting operations. If someone wants to go and hunt a high fence and pay the money then let them. Who are we to tell a business owner he can not have a business and provide for his family. Yes, I agree the animals need to be tested for CWD and have fence regulations. If someone wants to kill a 200 inch deer and pay thousands of dollars then let them, that is their choice. High fenced hunting seems to work in Michigan, Tennessee, Texas just to name a few states.

So if Indiana's Deer herd gets infected with CWD from one of these places your OK with it?  No "big deal"....   Who is gonna pay for all the CLEAN UP that will be required??? |

You must of missed the part where I said be tested for CWD?
Now if the state wanted to check every 6 months or whatever they would deem sufficient.

We hunters are already paying for half of the cost of the one farm in Jackson County. Can you imagine the lost funds hunters would see if the state allowed 10 of these things? Plus we are already dealing with deer farms "helping" the local herd genetics by letting deer out. Yes, they have in my area. A hunting buddy of mine shot 2 ear tagged does in the same season. |

Nobody is stopping anyone from going to any of the states you listed to patronize their pic n' shoots, we just don't want them here, period. The citizens of any state have the unlimited right to decide what they want as legal within their own borders, and the overwhelming majority of Hoosiers don't want high fence here. |
