The North Dakota Fenced Hunting Ban Initiative is a statewide ballot initiative that may appear on the November ballot in the state of North Dakota.
The measure proposes banning fenced hunting such as game preserves where people pay to shoot big-game animals.[1] The same ballot initiative was proposed in 2008, North Dakota Captive Hunting Petition (2008), but supporters failed to collect sufficient valid signatures to place the initiative on the ballot.
North Dakota Secretary of State Al Jaeger is expected to review and decide whether the proposal will be approved for circulation by mid-August 2009.[2]
Support
North Dakota Hunters for Fair Chase, a grassroots committee, is sponsoring the fenced hunting ban initiative for the second time. Roger Kaseman said that he believes that the group will be able to collect enough signatures to place the initiative on the ballot. Kaseman argues that the group collected enough signatures in 2008 but failed due to "technical errors."[2]
Signatures
In order to qualify for the November 2010 ballot initiative supporters must collect 12,844 signatures by August 4, 2010.[1]
