Ind. Law - High-fenced hunting ban gets OK

Updating yesterday's ILB entry based on the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette story titled "High-fenced hunting ban could get OK," the report today from the same paper is that it did get the ok. "DNR signs off on ban of high-fence deer hunts" is the headline to the story by Niki Kelly. Some quotes:

The Natural Resources Commission on Tuesday gave final approval to a rule that bans deer hunting in high-fenced operations.

The proposal is intended to clarify ambiguities in current regulations and establish new ones regarding what some refer to as canned hunting – or paying to shoot deer behind fences.

It could take an additional 60 days for the rule to take effect as it has to be approved by Gov. Mitch Daniels and sit for 30 days in the secretary of state’s office, according to Kim Brant, spokeswoman for the Department of Natural Resources.

For the text of the proposed rule document, see the Indana Natural Resources Commission page. The document is in MS Word and is part of a Hearing Officer's Report that is around 80-pages long.
