Fenced hunting operations seek state regulation

BISMARCK— North Dakota deer and elk ranchers who run fenced hunting operations want the Legislature to approve new regulations on their business, hoping that will deflect complaints from critics who believe fenced hunting is unethical. “We can go back and say, look, it’s in (state law). This is how we have to conduct our business. We’re not shooting fish in a barrel,” said Brian Kramer, a spokes-man for the North Dakota Deer Ranchers Association. “We are conducting a legitimate hunt out there.”
