    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    Those meetings have been attempted and essentially turned back into a their way or the highway and trust the science unfortunately (senator Thomas references this in his initial testimony). this way was the only way left available due to the game and fishes unwillingness to even come to the...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    Keeps the kids interested anyways! It needs some refining to get it correct, but I thought it was a good idea. contrary to what people might think/say about me and me using kids as means to get what I want on a baiting bill.. I love nothing more to get youth involved in the outdoors, this shows...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    On the senate side.. Burckhard and kresbach.. it seemed from conversations I heard about Burckhard was misinformed on the bill and that could have been the reason for his no vote, but not positive.

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    Speaking of the kids.. I've tossed around the idea of mentioning to some legislators the idea of doing the same thing montana does where youth under 18 are guaranteed to draw an antlered deer tag (Montana does resident and nonresident if I understand it correctly) but nodak could do resident for...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    Would I have loved to hunt over that same bait pile my camera takes pictures over before archery season starts again? Absolutely But this was about more then that. For me this was about one 1 way to reign in a Government agency that is unaccountable to the people of this state. The same phd...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    I'm not positive exactly what the compromise was (dr bahnson asked me if a capacity limit would be a fair compromise in minot at the CWD meeting to which I responded yes) but the senators on the committee got the level of disgust/distrust that was the reason for this bill and that was why they...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    Senate members talking on the floor about the negative ethics side of it.. It's funny none of them talked "sound science" as the reason for a no vote. "Trust the experts" "it's not ethical" we're common themes. There was only 1 side that pulled ethics into this bill, and it was brought up...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    It's not the same old "lockout" crowd this time, trust me, it's bigger... Will land be locked out because of this. Absolutely it will. People are fed up. 75% support from testimony, 80% pass in the house, 6-0 do pass from senate.. failed narrowly on the floor. This is part of the reason term...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    I reply farther down the thread today, missed it originally so sorry about that.. As far as the rancher perspective there are currently ag exemptions in the proclamation. I believe the actual wording is "or common ag practices" which grain yards, hay stacks and silage piles fall under...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    The other way that we have tried to work through this in the past is through meetings with the Game and Fish department and at advisory board meetings where this was discussed on basically deaf ears.. There was other ways and compromise attempts were made on the sportsmen's side of this, but...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    I missed that portion of your reply earlier so sorry about that. In regards to that I'm not sure. Both are grass roots animal ag/private property rights agencies in North Dakota where members are able to propose something at the county level (farm bureau) or state convention/district meeting...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    Chairman Patten, Committee Members… My name is Wyatt Thompson. I will be talking about some data that the Game and Fish has been collecting from unit 3F2. CWD was first found in North Dakota in 2009 in the southwestern part of the state, more specifically inside the borders of unit 3F2. The...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    I'm guessing you're thinking gst.. I've addressed that before on here. He is my father. I actually think I've dropped my name on here also if I remember right but could be wrong

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    People forget the words "by LAW and regulation" in the right to hunt amendment in our state constitution.. some of the very groups that are in opposition to it because "state government should stay out of the wildlife management" had 0 problems with the the attempted feeding bans in 07 and 09...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    If the game and fish department actually talked with landowners in the area where moose presence is high, there would be a pretty large difference between what their idea of land owner tolerance and what actual land owner tolerance.. I just so happen to live in one of those areas and have helped...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    The average lifecycle of a deer in nodak is 3 years old.. CWD takes 2-3 years to even possibly show a symptom. CWD is not passed from does to their fawns through birth meaning every fawn from a CWD positive doe is born negative, then has to contract it down the road. They use "always fatal...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    Protect wildlife populations for all residents and visitors... the statistics also show doing nothing (not implement baiting bans) gets us right to where states that have end up also.. all while not reducing populations beyond Mother Nature or an increase in deer tags.. The game and fishes...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    I am using a lot of the same data the game and fish department puts out.. Sask numbers, Wyoming numbers.. 3f2 numbers.. they are using the numbers to push a narrative that we don't want to be come sask with a high prevalence rate due to not banning bait. Wyoming and Colorado both banned bait...
