This is a state by state issue. Hunters in this state as i mentioned before are strongly against canned hunting. This isnt Texas and its very rare to find a thousand or more acres wrapped up by one person. As Indianahick mentioned, one preserve in this state is a whopping 117 acres. The Bellar preserve was roughly 1100 acres i believe, but lets be real here, he fenced off little 5-10 acre pens all over his property for the "hunters" to kill drugged deer. Hunters with no licenses i might add. How tough is it to kill a deer inside a 7 acre pen? Canned hunting in this state is about as far from fair chase as you get. Make no mistake here, the Indiana DNR and lawmakers are acting becuase of the hunting community, it is the hunters of this state who want to see it shut down. It was never actually legal to begin with so im not sure what the fuss is about. These deer pimps should be thankful the state didnt act earlier.
