Message: <blockquote data-quote="Migrator Man" data-source="post: 248196" data-attributes="member: 2369">being able to change it multiple times a season will cause a ton of issues. Like some said before there is not good cell service around the state so using the live app will not be possible in some areas. On X maps has a solution for areas with poor cell service by allowing the user to save map areas so they can use the app when offline. If landowners can change land status at random times during the season it will require users to constantly update the app to make sure they have the latest version. This WILL lead to confusion and to more conflicts with honest hunters and landowners. Some people will say how hard is it to keep your app updated but I will respond by asking you how good you are at keeping your phone software updated or how good your less electronic literate older relatives are at keeping their phones updated?This app would solve some of the issues in a perfect world but it will not be the perfect tool it needs to be. Until it is functional I cannot get behind. We need to look at other ways to make it easier for landowners to post like using painted fence posts to signify posted land. We could require only one corner to have contact info but if it is torn down the land is still posted.Finally this app will not reduce trespassing and may actually increase it due to the complexity of the app. It only makes it easier to post for computer literate landowners. If trespassing continues to be a problem the same groups will end up pushing for a new law .- - - Updated - - -Reducing the punishment for trespassing will only make trespassing worse. It needs to be stiffened with more enforcement if we want to reduce it from happening. Reduce the burden of proof and hire more game wardens if we want to reduce trespassing and would be a better use of the money than the app.- - - Updated - - -If I was a landowner there is zero benefit to signing up my land as yellow. Why post my address and a personal phone number for everyone to see so I can open myself up for a ton of calls during the year and especially during harvest? If a landowner is going to sign up they are going to sign up as red. I think no matter if it is red or yellow we should be able to see who has the land posted, but I don’t think anyone should be required to give out their phone number.instead of an unproven app how about we make posting land easier for landowners and reduce the confusion on whether land is posted? If we allow painted fence posts on corners and telephone poles then trespassers won’t be able tear down or knock over signs. We also would not have to worry about not being able too see signs in tall grass or signs covered with snow. Painted posts would also last multiple seasons and could be provided by the game and fish.</blockquote>
