From what I understand, the woman that owned the dog is (or at least was) all for this law.

The thing I don't understand is - doesn't the very premise of the law ASSUME the neighbors are illegally trespassing?

I mean, if I'm hunting legally on a piece of property, the only reason I would have to notify the neighbors is if they COME ONTO THE PROPERTY I AM HUNTING!

So they are basically creating a law that is (for all intents and purposes) condoning illegal trespassing - in essence, I am being forced to announce my future presence to illegal trespassers!

Am I missing something? Shouldn't it be the other way around?? It should be "Don't illegally trespass. If you want to come onto my property, YOU should notify ME! And that's when I will tell you, "I will be hunting my property. And no you do not have permission to enter my property".

Great point.

This bill is in response to the dog Tonka that was killed.  You wrote Ms. Tonka a nice letter apologizing for all hunters, I wonder if she is spearheading this or how she feels about it? 

Below is the last paragraph of the bill:

This bill, named “Restoring Safety Buffer Law,” is in response to the tragic death of Tonka, beloved pet of a family living in  Hunterdon County. Tonka, an Alaskan shepherd, was mistakenly shot with an arrow by a deer hunter. Tonka’s family was unaware that hunting was occurring on the adjacent property and, therefore, was unable to take extra precautions to protect him from harm. This bill seeks to prevent this type of tragedy from occurring again  by prohibiting hunting with a bow and arrow within 450 feet of an occupied building or a school playground, and requiring that a  private property owner provide written notice and obtain a written confirmation of its receipt from neighboring property owners and occupants at least 24 hours prior to the occurrence of any hunting  activity on the private property from the neighboring property  owners. The private property owner is required to notify all  property owners and occupants sharing a boundary with the  property on which the hunting will occur.

Yes Mark, she's trying again first time was Ray lesniak Senator out of Union county retired in 2018 it didn't go far then it won't go far now

I’m out of the loop on this but is only UBNJ on this? Or are other groups? 

[Tarhunt]

They fail to say that the dog was not on a leash and there's a leash law. So, she's partially at fault as well. I don't condone what the hunter did but, the politicians fail to mention it.

She admitted that her dog loved to chase deer and they encouraged that behavior .

Hmm...I wonder if adding the words "Private Hunting Zone from 1 Jan - 31 Dec" to the No Trespassing signs bordering my property would suffice?

I mean technically it's written notification and visible to all adjoining properties.

The tricky part might be the written confirmation of receipt.

[mazzgolf]

We SHOULD NOT have to ask our neighbors, individually in writing, to not trespass on our property, especially if the property is posted or fenced. I would think it should be implied that trespassing without permission should not be done, whether someone is hunting the property or not.

What this law would be implying is that it is OK to trespass as long as you know no one is hunting it. Even if there are "No Tresspass" signs posted on the property. That's what the law is saying.

That's my thinking anyway. Call me crazy.

When does this get voted on?
