    2019 ND Legislature and ND Sportsmens Etree

    I was just informed that the House Ag Committee will be amending SB 2315 back to a TOTAL TRESPASS LAW. Everything would be posted automatically. No permission = no access. We must act now to get this bill KILLED on the House floor. Earlier today I went on KFGO requesting an interim committee...

    SB 2315 -Everything's Posted Bill

    I posted this on another thread, too. just trying to help keep people informed. Yesterday I was told that 2315 is going to be reviewed a joint committee of Ag & Natural Resources, but the final vote will come from the Ag Committee. From there, it goes to a vote on the House floor. Any changes...

    Yesterday I was told that 2315 is going to be reviewed a joint committee of Ag & Natural Resources, but the final vote will come from the Ag Committee. From there, it goes to a vote on the House floor. Any changes from the Senate version would then be reviewed by a conference committee...

    the language for the "new 2315" is not yet available, which seems odd, but I am no expert on legislative process. With regard to property rights, those groups only believe in them when you're talking about production agriculture. If you believe in conservation, the ag groups don't support you...

    Major changes made to SB2315 late yesterday. I have not seen the bill, but there are several meetings with Senators, NDGF, and sportsmen reps today. Senator Erbele will be on KFGO at 9:05 today, discussing the changes. One thing is certain, he will try to stick the sportsmen in some...

    SB 2315 -Everything's Posted Bill

    NDGF will probably be gagged by Burgum, as Steinwand was forced into meetings with Sanford and Stockmen's Association beginning last April. I get the impression that Sara Otte-Coleman may be forced to remain silent, too. The database concept is not realist and the sponsors know it. NO farmer...

    There is not a single farmer who would put the financial basis for their entire operation into a public database for the whole world to see. It would force NDGF to spend millions and the participation would be virtually zero. If the ag groups want a compromise, perhaps they should be given...

    Not only would this bill create a NO TRESPASS LAW, it would also mandate ND Game & Fish to spend YOUR license dollars to create a useless database for landowners, at a cost of MILLIONS of dollar- your dollars. Not only do Senators Erbele, Unruh, Schaible, Klein, and the others want to kill off...

    here's the bill. The sponsor think an electronic database will be a cure-all for getting permission. That is totally false. High percentage of absentee owners, lack of cell service, hunters who don't have smart phones, are some of the reasons this. The expense and logistical challenges of...

    A NO TRESPASS BILL HAS BEEN SUBMITTED. Sponsors appear to be mostly same group of ANTi-HUNTING legislators who are always trying to kill our outdoor heritage. I was told the hearing will be next week. We need to have a big presence at the committee level and have our testimony heard. The...

    Here's an puzzling one. I understand the references to peeping in hotel rooms, private homes, buildings, etc - BUT A MISDEMEANOR for having a trail camera on unposted land? You can't even take pictures of the wildlife, probably including landscape/sunsets... Some of the same ANTI HUNTING...

    Yesterday another bill came up, sponsored by the regular group of Legislators who generally refuse to support Resident Hunters. Notably, Senator Erbele is probably the most anti-hunter, though Senators Klein and Unruh are close behind. Of the House sponsors, Reps Brandenberg and Nelson haven't...

    Here's a list of outdoor related bills that have been submitted. More is yet to come. Some of these are relatively inconsequential. Others....maybe not. I'm not a trapper, so not sure how much sense it makes to mandate checking snares every hours. I'm not a fan of scopes for muzzleloaders...
