Landowners with farmers licence to hunt deer will be given permits without lottery Applicants must indicate which area they wish to hunt in listing first and second choices The ministry will give the successful applicants permit sticker The hunter must then buy deer hunting licence for $15 $10 for farmers and attach the sticker to the licence The licence is not valid for hunting in the county unless the sticker is attached said Smith Smith said he expects lottery will not be needed because there will probably be more openings than applications CONCERNED OWNERS Many landowners were

Peter llaiinaiii With these new proposls more farm land has been given the samc status as urban lawns and gardens Hannam said the main areas of disagreement included special land status signage and the ambiguity of when liabiity could be charged lndcr the proposed legisla tion hrisimas tree farms forested areas bush and swamp lands would not be given protection similar to crop land We haic itccn lobbying for in ttllS to have thc same Dro tcction from trespass and liability apply to all lands regardless of its use Hannam said Special status is not enough the FA has always felt that property ownership is almost sacred and that ownership rights should be secure and well understood by everyone in our society He said the ambiguity over liability arises in the white papers phrase reckless disregard for the trespasser That causes lot of confu sion lf farmer has dangerous bull in field and so meone comes walking across what happens then Hannam asked We think landowners liability should be eliminated except in cases where it is deliberate attempt to do harm The whole question of color coded signs with positive and negative entries is too complex and could be costly to the farmer Hannam added basic law that forbids trespass would eliminate all these problems he said
