Can't say I can guarantee I have read every post on this issue but a couple problems I see with the data base are:

1. Why does our G&F have to fund this database system. There is no evidence that this posting is for hunters only. Many of the problems have not been proven to be hunter related. (DAPL comes to mind)
2. If hunters are expected to be able to use this data plan while out hunting, do we have phone service all over the state? I don't. I lose coverage all over the state. While hunting last fall when the deer season had some colder than average temperatures, my phone was quickly losing it's charge while out walking. Phone batteries and cold weather don't mix well.
3. When will this law take affect if passed? And if passed, when will the data base be available?

Guarantee this data base will not work as well as everyone thinks, especially at first.

I am also a landowner and see no benefit to posting my cell phone # on said data base. My home phone is listed but not my cell and have no intention of providing that information and it is certainly the best way to get ahold of me.

I have no problem asking for permission to hunt. What I find in ND is the difficulty of determining who to ask. MT has the Block Management where most of it is sign in at a box somewhere along the perimeter. Clearly marked and easy and lots of it in parts of the state. We have PLOTS, similar but different. As I understand the Block Management (There are two types of BM, some you just sign in, some you have to have permission as the number of hunters /day is limited) the landowner is paid based on the number of hunters using the land. The better the hunting, the more the landowner is paid. Have had really good antelope hunting using BM in MT. Someone please correct me if I'm clearly off-base on my understanding of BM.
