Farmers complain T re s p a s s in g h u n te rs caught in the act by owners of posted land are becoming violent, the state Board of Agriculture was told last week Representative of several county livestock associations said the present farmer- hunter situation is poten tially explosive and reported an increase in violence or threats of violence by hun ters and others who have been caught trespassing. Board members agreed to examine all issues related to damage and trespass on agricultural lands when the panel meets again this spring. M a rtin Howard, a livestock producer in Prineville and chairman of the state Livestock and Marketing Board, said that stockman associations are proposing new legislation which would require the surrender of a hunting license for five years by any hunter convicted of crim inal trespass. “ Some people think that just because they have a license and tag that they can hunt absolutely anywhere." he said.
