A group opposed to ranch hunting in North Dakota, has managed to eke out 12,964 signatures for a petition to get a citizen’s initiative on the November ballot to put an end to elk ranching and hunting preserves. The group disguised as a hunting group, the North Dakota Hunters for Fair Chase, needed a minimum of 12,844 signatures by midnight on Tuesday, August 5.

Typically, a few hundred signatures are discarded as invalid and with this group, headed by Roger Kaseman, having only 120 more signatures than needed, it appears that there will be no ballot come November.
