Message: <blockquote data-quote="Allen" data-source="post: 246663" data-attributes="member: 389">That little snippet is patently incorrect.  The State has already granted me permission to trespass onto private property in order to retrieve my property.  This comes in the form of hunting for when I shoot a bird and it falls across the fence, or if I shoot a deer and it runs away and onto another's posted land.  As a matter of fact, my neighbors tested this a few years ago.  Neighbor A stuck a deer that ran over onto neighbor B's land.  Neighbor B refused to give the guy permission to go looking for his deer.  So neighbor A contacted a warden and they eventually got both a warden and a sheriff to escort the guy onto the posted land against neighbor B's wishes.  Yes, they found and retrieved the deer.  Neighbor B sued neighbor A for violating his property rights.  Guess what, neighbor B lost in court.Similarly, if my cows wandered over onto someone else's property, they don't get to restrict my right to retrieving them.  We saw that up by Lakota a few years ago where there was an armed standoff between some douche landowner and the Sheriff, all over property rights.US landowners have to get it through our heads that property rights are NOT absolute because we are a part of the greater community and not on a fricking one-owner island. We are also seeing this as of late in Burleigh and Emmons county where there has been strong opposition to a new wind-farm, so far the people who want to allow turbines on their land are losing in the argument over if it gets built.  And this fella who wrote that little passage that Davey posted is also mistaken in the sense of he seems to be of opinion that the State is/has(?) been allowing people to hunt his land without his permission.  Far from the case, his land and access to it has already been placed at his discretion.  He's just not liking the fact that he actually has to communicate to people his wishes.  I'm with KDM on this, posting of the land automatically by a State law is a bigger property rights issue than simply requiring us landowners to communicate our wishes.  Under current law, nobody can post my land but me and my agents acting on behalf of me, I don't want to give the State the authority to post my land.</blockquote>
