NJ Bill would require landowners to get the permission of neighbors to hunt

Recommended Posts

Article on Assembly bill 3732 - https://www.outdoorlife.com/hunting/new-jersey-bill-private-land-hunting/  Here's a quote from a related article (below) - and I put the link to an online petition in red to bring your attention to it. 

...More specifically, the legislation would require landowners to “provide written notice to and obtain written confirmation from the owners and occupants of adjacent properties [prior to] any hunting activities.” That written notice must include the date, time, and length of the proposed hunt, and it must be delivered to neighboring properties at least 24 hours in advance of any hunting activities.

 

The state’s hunting community opposes the legislation, which it sees as both an attack on hunting opportunities and an affront to private property rights. Organizations like the United Bowhunters of New Jersey and the National Deer Association have opposed similar versions of this bill in the past, and the NDA currently has an online petition against A3732.

“Ridiculous,” NDA President and CEO Nick Pinizzotto tells Outdoor Life. “That’s the first word that comes to mind when I read Assembly Bill 3732. Not only would such a move be unjustified based on the long positive safety record by hunters—it is also an affront to private property rights.”

That bill already exists, except, it is the other way around.  It's the neighbor who has to ask you permission to hunt on land you own.  The proposed bill fails in so many ways and SCOTUS will kill it dead, if it even makes it that far before being incontrovertibly declared unconstitutional.
