Message: <blockquote data-quote="bravo" data-source="post: 306142" data-attributes="member: 1778">It’s going to take us being more organized, and there needs to be a bigger light shining on not only those pushing this bill, but the process as well. The bill was brought back to life in an almost unprecedented way last time.As far as the reps, I could not have been more disgusted with a few of them. Complete unprofessional dolts. I will have to go back through my emails but some responses were, let’s just say...sad. My short back story is: yes I own some acres, and I knew the responsibility of posting land was included in the purchase. I know some slobs will trespass / toss garbage. I will let someone hunt if me and my friends / family are not. Funny enough, the biggest problem I’ve had are with my land neighbor (supporter of this bill) who’s kid and his friends ignored my signs and ripped donuts in my planted food plot. I don’t think we need a new law. I think we need to give our current law some teeth. Why would someone stop trespassing if we took our signs down? The push behind this is 100% because the more the big ag groups can cut down on hunters, the less resistance they will have to farm every acre in the state. It’s as simple as that. There is no property rights issue, there is no “preserving our heritage”lThe responses I got ranged from “you must be lucky to not have to deal with it constantly”, “you don’t make your living off your land so you don’t count”, “then you must be ok with me and my family having a picnic in your front yard” etc. I heard from one speaking in person that 100% of the emails he received was against this bill, it had zero support in his district, yet when he spoke with a newspaper he claimed it had “overwhelming support”. You also have to remember the type of person who is able to serve as a rep. Not many average joes or working professionals can run due to their full time jobs. Hence, we have some reps who are retired farmers (farm bureau members) and sometimes the unemployed spouses of farmers and ranchers. Sort of a conflict of interest if you ask me.</blockquote>
