From the IWF:


The bill passed the Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee with a vote of 6-1. We thank Sen. Tim Skinner of Terre Haute for taking a stand for wildlife and voting no. The bill was amended to add a few features that would help reduce the likelihood of captive deer escaping. That said, this is still a bad bill no matter how you look at it. The major concerns fall into two categories: 1. Health of the wild deer herd, and 2. Fair chase and hunting ethics. While the opposition may propose things like double fencing to keep wild deer and captive deer from interacting, there’s no way to dress this up to be fair chase hunting.



Action that you, your friends, family, and affiliate members can take to speak up for wildlife and stop legalization of high fence shooting/canned hunting:



Contact the people who have the power to address this and make the right decision that canned hunting is not good business for Indiana:

As we said earlier........It don't look good!
