You can tell when reading their editorial that they are not very well versed on the subject. They say it won’t affect hunters because people who allowed access before will probably still allow access. They obviously don’t realize that many of the people who do not post do not care if people hunt because they rather not be bothered. Every landowners will be bombarded with calls if this law passes. Here are my questions:1. Will the NDGF end all wildlife depreciation payments to landowners? I suspect no2. Will ND open the public right of ways to hunting ?3. I suspect the coyote and predator populations will skyrocket because most hunters that would typically shoot them won’t be able to without permission. Would people bother to even hunt coyotes as much? Is the legislature ready to deal with that problem? 4. License sales will plummet dramatically due to less open land and the remaining land being overrun with too many people. Is the legislature prepared to fund the NDGF with general funds because of lost revenue? The legislature better have good answers to these questions otherwise they are going to have to answer to the voters of ND.</blockquote>
