Rep. Eberhart (District 57 - Shelbyville) is proposing a bill to ammend the current laws for 'shooting preserves'. In current form preserves are only allowed for game birds, which I really don't have a problem with. This new bill would allow 'cervidae' with the list included deer, elk, moose and caribou. IMO, this is just an end around, again, to allow high fenced hunting in Indiana. While I still think overall the deer herd in Indiana is healthy, I'm not sure I want to risk the wild herds with high fence hunting. EHD has been bad enough... Likewise, I think it'll be a huge black eye for hunters in this state, which is way more urban/suburban every day! I think the mechanisms required in the bill for enclosure of the critters
Please take the time to read the bill and voice your opinion to your state representative and senators.
