Read the whole thing, including the below, according to this, the bill came before the ballot referendum....The article you posted says the opposite... The hunting community CANNOT function as an effective lobby with this level of incompetence and/or intentional untruthfulness.... Hunting continues to lose public support because of this... 

 

This measure would not have gone to the ballot if a legislative bill, LD 1474, sponsored by Rep. Denise Harlow (D-116), had been passed by the legislature. This bill sought to enact laws similar to those stipulated in the initiative. A similar measure appeared on the ballot and was defeated in the general election on November 2, 2004.[

This article gives a much different account of the voter margin and process which explains the ongoing legislation. This is why I don't read from those sources and caution others not to either....

I'm not sure what was so misleading about the OP's article.

 

All it said was that the majority of voters were against the banning legislation (which is correct even according to your ballotpedia site).  And certainly most of the state legislators (both D's and R's) were too.

 

Do you not like Maine's bear hunting regs?
