Message: <blockquote data-quote="njsimonson" data-source="post: 258153" data-attributes="member: 1507">Strangely enough, I was asked to sign a letter regarding SB 2315 (I'm guessing it would have been this one) on Tuesday night as an individual and declined for the following reasons:1) The restriction of non-hunting access to unposted lands (fishing, hiking, biking, etc.), and loss of access for most activities is a loss for all people;2) The fact that they WILL come for the hunting exemption in the next few sessions (I've been promised by one Rep) - this "compromise" does not buy peace and sets the stage for a final offensive in the ongoing "everything's posted" movement;3) That such a letter - even if just used to discuss the terms of 2315 - would most likely be utilized and intentionally misconstrued as a "sportsmen are on board" tool by the proponents (and it is, despite that not being true) 4) No other solutions have even been considered beyond the semi-nuclear option that sits before us.  I and many others have offered at least half-a-dozen easier alternatives that would stiffen penalties, reduce the cost of posting, increase land ownership respect and awareness, deter trespass and help build relationships.  But this database boondoggle has been the bone the dog won't let go of. 5) Also the game retrieval provision pointed out here really concerned me - but I hear they're fixing that in their do-over today. See the thing is, you can be a member of these groups - or DU, or PF, or whomever - that do great things for youth, access and habitat, but you don't have to agree with them all the time.  I encourage everyone to raise their individual voices in this home stretch and speak your belief and truth to power.</blockquote>
