Deer hunters need to quit going at each other and work together to achieve what most want. You will never please all but I believe you can reach agreement on much of what people want. The real enemy is Indiana Farm Bureau Inc. and their hold on the legislature. This Farm lobby funded by their insurance company for years have lobbied the legislature to reduce the deer population which in turn gave a mandate to the DNR. Now Indiana Farm Bureau Inc. is lobbying on behalf of the High Fence Hunting operations and the Amish deer farmers to increase deer and deer hunting behind the fence. It's a fact I have witnessed it at the statehouse. More private wildlife less public. Hunters need to wake up. Limit access make money. The average hunter which I and others have tried to help for years is going to get squeezed out. The DNR really is at the mercy of the legislature and the legislature is under the influence of $$$$$$$ and who gets them elected.
Sportsmen are disorganized and shooting at the wrong target and often themselves.
