"-w, i I r ' "4 Larry Gordon SELL WITH CLASSIFIEDS 676-9228 Oregon stockmen seriously concerned about criminal trespass by hunters brought their case to the State Board of Agriculture in Bend this week. Terming the present farmer-hunter situation "po tentially explosive," repre sentatives of several County Livestock Associations said that they have noticed an increase in violence or threats of violence by hunters and others who have been challenged by the owners of posted land. After hearing the testimony, members of the board agreed to examine all issues related to damage and trespass on agricultural lands when the panel meets again this spring. Martin Howard, a livestock producer in Prineville and chairman of the State Live stock and Marketing Board, said that stockman associa tions are concerned and are proposing new legislation which would require the' surrender of a hunting license for five years by any hunter convicted of criminal tres pass. Howard said that document ed violence against stock menas well as threats at gunpoint seemed to be on the increase this past season. "Some people think that just because they have a license and tag that they can hunt absolutely anywhere," he said. Agriculture Director Leonard Kunzman told board members that he was deeply concerned about the problem, especially about a recent incident in which an Oregon rancher was beaten so severe ly with his own rifle that the stock was broken in the assault. The producer was beaten by two. hunters whom he challenged on his own land and was hospitalized for two weeks for treatment of serious injuries. Kunzman said that he and the department staff would confer with officials of the Department of Fish tnd Wildlife and other agencies to prepare a full package on the trespass and land-damage problem for the board's next session.
