    SB 2315 - In Cmte 3/14 - ACTION REQUIRED!

    Ha the special interests got you there! Nonprofits can't own land in ND, because the special interests (who are also pushing 2315) can VETO any nonprofit purchase in the state! https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/2091477-nd-law-complicates-nonprofit-land-purchases

    The "Final" SB 2315 - Worst of Both Worlds

    The key difference is that MN and WY have 9x and 30x the amount of public land that ND has, and we can never create more here, due to the same bad lawmakers who have given these same special interests behind SB 2315 the power to veto public land creation in ND in previous sessions. Lose...

    The "Final" SB 2315 - Worst of Both Worlds

    This comes down to "legislating by ultimatum." What our legislators have done is take the worst possible solution (post everything), and say "here's the second worst alternative we've discussed, you can have that if you want to make it work." How pathetic, the influence of big money is...

    The "Final" SB 2315 - Worst of Both Worlds

    The final version of SB 2315 will be the worst of both worlds: 1) Everything's Posted; and 2) A study on how to make an electronic database. The version of the House Ag Amendments released at 5 pm today ARE AT THIS LINK. Of key note are lines 17-24 on Page 7 – ALL LANDS ARE POSTED. ALL...

    SB 2315 - In Cmte 3/14 - ACTION REQUIRED!

    We will be awaiting the final amended version out of committee today. As I understand it, there are THREE sets of amendments and again, this is just generally speaking, I've seen NONE of these and only been told that is what's up for consideration in today's committee: 1) Everything's posted...

    SB 2315 - In Cmte 3/14 - ACTION REQUIRED!

    Ask her to provide a citation to the code she's referencing...because she's wrong. Absent a city ordinance that is more restrictive, you don't have to post structures, but if you want to keep people off your lawn you can either a) post it or b) tell them to get off it when they show up. The...

    Snow totals

    Just got off the plane. Worst flight I've had in a long time. Sustained moderate to severe turbulence for 2 hours on the NW side of the low, plus a rough landing. I have only ever seen a wind map like this one other time (Fall 2010). http://hint.fm/wind/ I say 6" for Bis, 12" for Kidder...

    SB 2315 - In Cmte 3/14 - ACTION REQUIRED!

    Are all counties required to enter the database? So far no, and they only are required to opt-in when they do meet the GIS criteria. Which counties like Ransom do not, because they do not require contact information (phone) for landowners. It will be piecemeal, slow and confusing from one...

    Yesterday SB 2315 was set for a dual hearing in both the House Ag and House Energy & Natural Resources Committee. The date of these hearings is Mar. 14 at 8:30 a.m. As amended... 1) This bill does NOTHING to prevent trespassing (a very minor problem), is more lenient on criminals, and will...

    Hunting & fishing combo day... is North Dakota the best?

    Used to have great cast-and-blast in Barnes County in the fall. Moon Lake had monster rainbows that would fire up in Sept., and both the James (La Moure Dam) and the Sheyenne had good autumn walleye bites. It wasn't unusual to hunt doves or pheasants and then go out and fish. With the habitat...

    As expected, the final amended version of SB 2315 just went up on bill tracker. https://www.legis.nd.gov/assembly/66-2019/documents/19-0896-02000.pdf I see they've added the infraction portion, and have now included members from an "agriculture committee" and "sportsmen committee" as public...

    The "NEW" SB 2315 - Pucker Up Buttercup!

    Senate just adjourned. They did not get to 2315. Most likely tomorrow. SB 2054 was defeated - it would have removed preference for conservation efforts in Outdoor Heritage Fund Grants, and given money to non-hunting/fishing/conservation outdoor projects. So there's hope they can do the...
