[QUOTE="njsimonson, post: 246542, member: 1507"] 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 says I do I feel sportsmen should have to ask, though the law doesn't require it for unposted land. I feel the law should change, because it'll keep bad people off my land I feel I do so much already, why do I have to spend time/$ on posting No one points out the facts. (I see the Trib has no space to comment on the story on their site and hasn't posted to their FB page to counter). So at the risk of sounding like Dwight Schrute... Fact - 59 Hunting Trespass Tickets in 2017 for 140,000 hunters in ND. (0.04%) - Hunters abide by the law, and landowners know to post.
