I guess the part 2 thread isn't any better than the first. So I am starting Part 3. Lets see some suggestions for middle ground and list solutions to both sides.

"Sen. Donald Schaible, R-Mott, sponsored the bill. Though it in part was in relation to the anti-Dakota Access Pipeline protests ongoing in his district, Schaible said the bill would take care of a longstanding issue in which landowners have to put up hundreds of signs to keep people off their land."
Senator Schaible told me this isn't a hunting issue. Well I am going to say now it probably is or at least it is leaning that way. I told him it would become one. So please come up with common sense ways to deal with this.
It seems one of the biggest gripes is people taking down posted signs, defacing, etc and then saying the land wasn't posted. I have a solution for this.
Vermont for example requires landowners to record the posted land with the town clerk or land records office. I say how about recording with the County Recorder annually what land is posted. That way there is a legal public record of what land is posted. This would give landowners proof of posting to prosecute trespassers.
I wasn't at the hearing wish I was. To keep the future relationship with landowners and sportsman on equal footing I think this bill needs more massaging...
