Bismarck, North Dakota News

" I wouldn't hunt at these places, but, every day we are getting something taken from us from the liberals in goverment, enough is enough... "

" The taking of a wild animal has been a right of passage far into pre-history. When a young person bagged their first animal and brought it back to the village to consume, it was a joyous occasion. This still holds true today. I remember my first deer hunt. My father took me into the badlands and I shot my first mule deer. My heart was pounding as I watched her approach through a deep draw. Although would have preferred a buck, it didnt really matter. I urge parents not to let their childs first deer hunt come from a high fenced hunting operation. Their first memory may sound something like this. My father took me to a farm and we entered through a gate. We climbed into a deer stand and waited for the feed to be released. A deer came to eat and I shot it, It had nowhere to run. "

" Too bad. I had hoped this distasteful practice would be eliminated from North Dakota as it was in Montana several years ago. I am hoping the issue comes around again, to get rid of this ugly practice once and for all. "

" I'm glad this is shot down...for now. Despite my belief that canned hunts are reprehensible and wrong, I don't think they measure up to the shady tactics used by the proponents of this would-be measure. "

" This is a sad day for North Dakota hunters. Now we have to worry about the spread of chronic wasting disease from the domestic population to the wild population. I am a traditional hunter and I feel sad for those who wish to hunt in high fenced operations. You may as well hunt in a petting zoo. "

" Voted on or not, this will always be an issue that divides people. Same as private land hunting and the rights to post your land or allow hunting access. For myself, after being burned twice by hunters my land is now posted. "

" Good deal, I would not hunt inside fenced in land but if someone wants to it doesn't bother me one bit. Some people get angry at sportsmen hunting with AR rifles, but that won't stop me or many other ND hunters from using them. This is America, we still have the right to choose.......for now. "

" I would have liked to see this on the ballot for one single simple reason - let the people vote on this and decide what they want - once and for all. It would have also encouraged a lot more people to get out and vote because this is such a hotly debated issue. "
