Requesting The Department Of Land And Natural Resources To Clearly Delineate Or Distinguish Property Boundaries To Ensure That Hunting Activities Are Occurring On Designated Lands.
Impact
If implemented, HR86 could significantly affect state laws related to hunting regulations and land management. The resolution calls for enhanced clarity in land demarcation, which may involve the reevaluation and potential reconfiguration of current public hunting areas. Furthermore, by possibly designating lands that do not adjoin private properties as public hunting areas, the resolution aims to improve the safety of both hunters and private landowners by reducing the likelihood of accidental trespass.
Summary
House Resolution 86 (HR86) requests the Department of Land and Natural Resources of Hawaii to clearly delineate property boundaries to ensure that hunting activities only occur in designated lands. The primary concern that this resolution addresses is the frequent incidents of hunters unintentionally trespassing into private lands during hunting excursions due to poorly marked boundaries between public hunting areas and private properties. Such trespassing has led to adverse consequences, including the accidental death of livestock by hunters.
Contention
The resolution does not detail any specific points of contention, but potential areas of debate could include the cost and feasibility of delineating boundaries, as well as the impacts this might have on hunting access. Landowners and environmental advocates might have differing views regarding the appropriateness of designating new public hunting areas versus the preservation of private land rights. The Department of Land and Natural Resources’ ability to enforce these new measures may also raise questions about resource allocation and priority in managing wildlife laws.
