Lots of times though a farmer or rancher just doesn't like seeing a truck they don't know pulling into their yard and you're immediately off on the wrong foot. ND is heading down the wrong path, thanks to the all powerful ag groups controlling the dinosaurs and idiots in our legislative body, the slobs who poach/trespass/trash land, and the sour land owners. The ag groups I understand, even if I disagree with their goals. They want every inch of the state in production. No public land, no hunting, just a big private garden with cattle. The land owners, namely the "lockout" group, I don't understand. Not all that long ago hunters and farmers saw eye to eye. I remember my uncle would leave bales around sloughs for duck and goose hunters, eat his lunch with whoever was picking up dekes after shooting geese in his fields, tell strangers where they could get a deer and help push his own tree rows. Now my cousin straight up patrols the land, borderline harassing people who drive the gravel roads in his area. The old men at cenex used to tell me where to go and to "shoot 'em all!". There's obviously still more good guy landowners than assholes, but the assholes have a bigger presence especially on social media, which is what I think is driving a bigger wedge between everyone.Before this becomes an bigger essay; I'll throw in my $0.02. Re-write the law and remove the cap on public acres. Sorry farm bureau, you can't have it all to yourself. Game and Fish, hold hunter/landowner round table / pint nights in every district available to ALL of the public, not pre-selected senators / lobbyists / group leaders. Let people discuss problems and network, God forbid people find out they have things in common and share similar interests. Expand the PLOTS program, expand CRP acres, Cap the number of G/O, Increase the number of wardens. Its not impossible when you see how much money is wasted in other areas.</blockquote>
