What is different that what we already have? This sounds great, basically what we already had unless I miss something. The only difference is game warden can write trespass ticket. Is that correct?
It is far closer to what we have now, but not exactly. In 2 counties (I think it's Halifax and 1 other?) the sheriff or game warden have to secure consent of the property owner before issuing a citation for trespass. That provision of existing law would be deleted under the proposal, as I understand it.
With respect to written permission, it is basically the same as we have now.
John, this bill is an "agency bill", requested by the NC WRC. The Farm Bureau jumped on it after it was introduced. It is my understanding that the Farm Bureau has signed off on this latest compromise.
Mr. Howard, the other county is Warren, where I hunt. So, what you are saying is that if you are on posted and registered land, the owner does not have to give permission or take the warrent out? The sherriff or game warden can go ahead and write you a ticket for trespassing and the land owner is not involved? Just want clarification.
Preston you deserve a big thank you also. I know how much work has been put into this thing and how big your part was. Thanks for all you do and look forward to seeing you real soon.
