Who were the people suggesting the Indiana deer herd needs reduced in the first place??? When prop 1 first came out in that disguise I have never thought the herd needed reduced except in some state parks. Something about two birds with one stone comes to mind regarding prop 1. [/b]
Prop 1 was the result of the initial efforts of ONE legislator. IMO, he was less concerned the about deer population...and more concerned with kicking the DNR and the state hunting orgs in the teeth for fighting all of the high fence bills he introduced.
Prop 1 got canned by hunters. Prop 2 replaced it. Both props had the exact same roots.
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
