New bill about blinds near troughs

[44hunter45]

I imagine Idaho, like MT, is a fence out state. Which means the responsibility of keeping livestock off adjacent property lies with the adjacent property owners, not the livestock owner.

"Fence Out" is reversed if you are in a herd district. In herd districts, the livestock owner is also liable in all livestock vs vehicle accidents on public roads.

Yea, it changes in MT depending on where you are, but most of the state is fence out.

There is an ARCGis layer for this in both ID and MT.

If sitting in a blind were difficult, no one would do it.

Are you sure?

Somebody explain to me (a useful idiot) why it is farm bureau or the farm and ranch community would want to ban blinds near water?

Honest short answer- control.
Little longer short answer- To many people on their undeeded land! (Blm) + The percentage of hunters who are chitty people and do stupid stuff.

That seems like an odd thing to target if control is what you're after. I figured it would have been something more along the lines of "bait" or exploitation or something
