Message: <blockquote data-quote="Weaver" data-source="post: 432086" data-attributes="member: 8377">Your wrong on all accounts. I am a landowner and a hunter. I just found this site yesterday and found this topic to be of interest to me so who cares how old the original post is if it’s of importance today? People wonder why habitat is decreasing in ND and I have many farmers friends who share the same feelings regarding the unconstitutional seizure of private property.  It’s not just economics as to why habitat is disappearing, it’s the disrespectful behavior of those who exploit the law.  If you owned land you would understand more clearly. If you are hunting yourself or have family or friends coming from afar it’s pretty frustrating to have groups circling your posted property and if given opportunity will shoot anything in range of the roadway and hence the creation of the famous “ wounded deer story” most farmers encounter. Because of the way the law is written you now have people being dropped at one end of a posted property without weapons while the rest of the party goes to the other side to see if anything is flushed out. When questioned it’s always the “ wounded deer story excuse” even though you watched the whole thing unfold.  Tell me if you were the landowner you wouldn’t be pissed off at that. No land is unhuntable in ND with that wording. The only way frustrated farmers/ ranchers have to fight back is to make the habitat disappear so nothing is there to tempt them. So you don’t think ditches mowed to golf course height along posted land is just a coincidence? And food sources tilled under in fields next to roadways is just to catch snow? You have a lot to learn.NDGF pleads with farmers/ ranchers to create more habitat but why would they if it brings nothing but added problems with unethical hunters, who disrespect landowners using a loophole in the system to hunt posted propertyyou’re also wrong about accusing me of looking for payment to access. I have a large group of pheasant hunters I invited to hunt my property every year and refuse any kind of payment they have offered. Never have/ never will charge for hunting to those who do it the right way .</blockquote>
