I am completely off-ed by this whole enclosed hunting thing. It's like shooting a farmer's cow or catching a 10 lb bass in an aquarium. Who could get any satisfaction from doing this? Not a "hunter" I think.
Deer are not domestic livestock and it's been proven that they get CWD when raised this way. And, some deer are bound to escape from these enclosures to infect the wild deer herd.
I'm a Buckeye and, of course, the state tells us all is regulated, monitored and safe - until it isn't.
But now this is an "industry" in OH and is backed by a lot of money. So, it's almost impossible to control.
There was an article about this in the Cincinnati paper and there was immediate public reaction against the whole idea - and deer hunting by association.
Just ain't right but the almighty $$ is going to rule here.
Funny, Hooisers tend to argue over the length of seasons and the use of X-bows - might be better off focusing on this issue for the long term health of deer hunting.
