Message: <blockquote data-quote="BBQBluesMan" data-source="post: 251777" data-attributes="member: 1007">This database is so damn confusing.. The way I understand it is if the County your friend lives in enters this database and he does not designate his land in one of the three categories, it will be labeled as open on the database.. A landowner or lawful occupant may designate which of the three categories in subsection 1 applies to the landowner's or occupant's land. Land for which a landowner or lawful occupant does not designate a category must be indicated in thedatabase as open to hunters if the county in which the land is located is included in the database.If the county your friend lives in doesnt enter the database, things will be normal (no posted signs - can hunt / posted -must have permission). But then SB 2315 goes on to say that:  After a county is included in the database: a. A hunter may not enter land in the county which is designated in the database as closed to hunters or open to hunters with permission unless the hunter has permission to enter the land or otherwise is entitled to enter the land. A hunter is guilty of an infraction for a first knowing violation and a class B misdemeanor for a second and subsequent knowing violation of this subdivision; and  b. A hunter without permission may enter land in the county which is not designated in the database as closed to hunters or open to hunters with permission , unless the land is posted in accordance with section 20.1 - 01 - 17. Confusing to say the least. So if a landowner that lives in a county that has entered the database does not designate his or her land in one of the three categories, it will be shown as "open" on the database. But if they post it, it will be off limits. That ought to not confuse anyone, lol. Can anyone answer these questions? Are all counties required to enter the database? If not, whom decides in the counties of North Dakota to enter their respective county in the database??What if a landowner doesnt care if people hunt waterfowl or upland but want their land posted for deer season? The cost and logistics of this "access" database are going to be a disaster. Talk about a huge waste of money and time.</blockquote>
