Message: <blockquote data-quote="Duckslayer100" data-source="post: 249082" data-attributes="member: 1485">I think both sides are painting broad strokes with this conversation/argument. It comes off as landowners thinking all hunters are lazy slobs, and hunters thinking all landowners are lazy and greedy. I think we can all agree that it's the 10 percent that are ruining it for the 90 percent of us. MOST HUMANS are just like every other ANIMAL on this planet: We tend to travel the path of least resistance. The MAJORITY of farmers/landowners will post what they care about, and leave the rest open because it's EASIER. Or they'll post EVERYTHING or NOTHING because it's EASIER. And with this online database thing, if NOT having your information means your lands are posted and it's the easiest thing to do, THAT'S WHAT THE MAJORITY WILL DO.Same with hunters. Unposted and public land is the path of least resistance. If you have buddies with land, that's a path of least resistance. Going out and scouting, buying PLATS books for every area you want to hunt, keeping notes and researching who recently sold land or leased land, that's TOUGH. And in areas that are already posted to the brim, it's what it takes to get on property legally. This bill wont' change that. What it will do is create that atmosphere STATEWIDE. So in places that aren't as pressured or where farmers really don't care and want to be left alone (so they either POST or DON'T). Now they'll be inundated with phone calls and late-evening door knocks because an online database shows that quarter with the duck slough is red (i.e. posted) and the farmer didn't bother to register it unposted and spout his private information to the entire digital hunting population.</blockquote>
