An industry that breeds deer with big antlers to be shot in fenced hunting preserves contributes to the spread of diseases, an Indianapolis Star investigation has found.

The complete story is on line. The print edition will start Sunday. Lots of videos and interviews. This has to be one of the most extensive stories ever done on the Canned hunting deer hunting industry,the disease risk to wild deer and the ethics and image of hunting/hunters in North America


Everything you wanted to know about the Deer Farming Industry and Disease. this should open a few eyes

Best thing I've seen come out of the Indy Star in years.

The reporter really did a great job of investigative reporting.

This should be required reading for every Indiana politician..

send it it to yours today....

Wouldn't expect any Star article/investigation to be 100% factual and of no spin, unless it was written by Erika D Smith.................

USA Today has picked it up...

Study: Some deer farmers put ethics on line for profit

Eh, let the Star help you win the battle on canned hunts/deer farming.
Then when that's done they can go after the stuff you like better.

Haven't read the "investigation" yet.................but I bet eventually they'll blame Irsay's drug abuse and black youth violence on deer farms.

good read!!!

Yes. Because the Star has always been a gun owners friend. This is like using Karl Marx to give proof against the evils of capitalism. Do captive deer get sick and die? Sometimes. Do free range deer get sick and die? Sometimes. Ask northern IN and Michigan about the free deer and EHD 2 seasons ago. You guys and your big government regulation helps everything rhetoric. /facepalm.

Handgunners of deer are a small group, wouldn't surprise me to see the Star go after them and most rifle and X bow folks be content, since it aint their deal.

Liberals don't give, they just take.

 

[greg]

It don't have a freaking thing to do with GUNS..... Take the tinfoil hats off!!!

SMH....

 

[Hookeye]

The Indy Star is notoriously liberal and anti gun.
Think they're your anti high fence buddy now?
If so then you sir are a fool.

She's culling the herd.
