    The "NEW" SB 2315 - Pucker Up Buttercup!

    Still nothing on bill tracker this morning. I've got verbal confirmation that there was an amendment offered yesterday in committee that actually LOWERS the penalty for trespass under the amended bill to an INFRACTION. Just what we need - LESS PENALTIES for the jerks and criminals that have...

    The "NEW" SB 2315 - Pucker Up Buttercup!

    The committee is supposedly meeting on it today and tomorrow, and it may hit the floor for a senate vote as soon as Monday by the sources I've talked to - but there will most likely be no more public hearings on this (called a "hoghouse" bill, which is one that gets gutted, amended and thrown to...

    The "NEW" SB 2315 - Pucker Up Buttercup!

    Did you check the first post of this thread? :) Here’s the current version of the amendment in PDF (not final released version...but I'm guessing it's pretty close).

    The "NEW" SB 2315 - Pucker Up Buttercup!

    You are not alone, but it's not unexpected as he's deep in the pocket of lots of special interests. This adds to the consensus from others who have gotten back on vote counts and responses...my guess is at this point, it's a C&P response from Wanzek to anyone who opposes 2315.

    The "NEW" SB 2315 - Pucker Up Buttercup!

    The big takeaway from re-writing and including more language on guides and outfitters in the amendment, is that now it's even more of a "hunting bill" than it was before. The extensive modifications to Section 20.1 in the amended 2315 - the violation language, the prima facie hunting activity...

    The "NEW" SB 2315 - Pucker Up Buttercup!

    ALL --- THIS IS WHAT I SENT TO THE SENATE, Please Feel Free to Copy and adjust: Dear Senators - I have seen the proposed amended version of SB 2315 and I am even more concerned about this bill than I was prior to the hearing for the original and immediately after. This is not the solution...

    The "NEW" SB 2315 - Pucker Up Buttercup!

    That's the WORST part - THERE IS USUALLY NO HEARING with a hoghouse bill (one where the committee just amends it and tosses it out to the floor for a vote - likely Friday/Monday)...we're up against it my friends, more ramrodding at the expense of hunters.

    The "NEW" SB 2315 - Pucker Up Buttercup!

    Well, as expected the NEW SB 2315 AS AMENDED is EVEN WORSE (and waaay sneakier) than the original. It has now become more confusing and anti-hunter than the original version. There are glaring issues in the new effort slopped together by Senator Erbele in his desperation to get a win for his...

    No Trespass Law

    And you're 100% right and the data does bare it out... Even with the 1M acres of private, unposted land in ND and our roughly 2.1M acres of public land & PLOTS (2013 data), we still fall well below SD's 5M acres of publicly-accessible land. https://gfp.sd.gov/hunting-areas/...

    Helpless feeling

    I've been there. A year from now you'll look back and everything will be better for it. Going back and reading your follow-up, with that kind of education and know-how, you'll find something waaaay better!

    No Trespass Law

    You're all correct...this alleged compromise has not been released (yet), but the proponents of SB 2315 had no issue hyping it up last week, despite having NO IDEA what's in it, beyond some napkin scribbles after Erbele came back hat-in-hand to the committee looking for any sort of win for his...

    No Trespass Law

    This is codified in NDCC 53-08-01 et seq. Basically, what it says is that anyone entering onto land, uninvited (ie: a hunter, entering onto unposted land) assumes the risk, and the landowner owes no duty to the visitor and is not liable for injuries in the normal course...

    No Trespass Law

    More public discussion may occur next week, possibly Thursday...I'll let you know more as I do... In the meantime, keep buzzing your legislators with thoughts, ideas, compromises, possible amendments, etc. The more they hear from sportsmen, the better things will go for us.

    No Trespass Law

    The overnight rumor from the capitol has it that the Senate Ag Committee is in gridlock over this bill - they are hearing the overwhelming voice of sportsmen and that is making this process hard for them to side with the big money operations on the other side and the proponents of what they also...

    No Trespass Law

    This editorial is based only on feeling - I see no statement of fact or reason to support the position, continuing the "feeling based" arguments for SB 2315. You never hear the "why" in all of these arguments for SB 2315...just the argument. I feel I shouldn't have to post, though the law...
