If you were to hunt on an island of only a few thousand acres, could that be considered a canned hunt? My guess is no. If someone wants to grow big deer on their property is their right to do so. Why do people care so much about what other people are doing as long as they don't hurt the environment or someone else? If we could get everyone to let the small deer go so that they have a chance to reach mature then there would be no need for high fences but history has proven that is not possible. I don't have a high fence operation, nor do I hunt in them.

How do you define a high fence? If it's 30,000 acres but it's still enclosed is that still high fence? Still BS?

As a resident of Indiana, I am vehemently opposed to the business of game farming, and don't want it in my state. This opinion is shared by 85% of Indiana residents according to numerous polls. The Bellar preserve incident was a stain on the integrity of Hoosiers in general, and Hoosier hunters in particular. Most of us weren't even aware of the existence of these operations, and on the heels of Bellargate the citizenry clearly expressed to both our DNR and Legislature that we wanted these operations banned. Recently, several of them have been quarantined for bovine tuberculosis incidents, a disease that hasn't been detected in any Hoosier livestock in over thirty years. The threat to the rest of our agricultural industry is immediate and serious. If game farms haven't sprouted up in your state contact your representatives and ensure that they never do.
