Useless title to that article. Basically details the events and then says we won't know about any charges until next week. Both could be charged, one side or the other could be charged, neither could be charged. Real helpful there Grandforks Herald

Feels like there’s a better chance of charges with it being turned over to the Eddy Co state’s attorney.

I believe that is SOP when one party wants to press charges. It's not handing it over completely, it's the states attorney working with the Game and fish to proceed through the case.

Gonna have to pull that up on the big screen. I like watching those smack em boys on yt.

This video is a prime example of how landowners, farmers, and ranchers are still put on a pedestal and are of a different class in much of the country still. This guy thinks he is something special just because he owns the corn field. Unquestionably he should have been stuffed and cuffed right on the spot. He was very aggressive and this would have escalated if the kids were not so level headed. The rancher plus class system gets old. It’s no wonder a large swath of the “common” folk hate them. The prescribed burn boss is another example of law enforcement Justice system catering to the rancher/landowner class and corner crossing is also for that matter.

Not a ton of any new info, but an update

The guys I used to hunt ND for waterfowl with would have made that old farmer cry from verbal abuse. It would have got very ugly.

They could’ve had so much fun with that guy.

Farmer would have likely been more sensitive with your buds.

I think after being gay called gay for the 50th time he would have probably realized a pink pantie meltdown like the one he had in the video wasn't going to get him anywhere.

Calm collected smart kid that documented entire encounter with GP. Interesting "Jeff" landowner is either clueless or arrogant beyond what he demonstrated in ignoring he was being videoed. I personally applaud this young man's character throughout this debacle which will add credence to their side of story.

Theres two scenarios here that make this a bit more....complex.

1. The North Dakota section line law. This law opens a 33 ft public right of way on each side of a section line (even if both sides are posted). I'm not sure if this happened on a section line or not. The angry guy in the video said it wasn't but I don't know.


But saying the hunters were trespassing sure doesnt seem to pass the smell test.

It would be hard to beat the weights in fish video but this is truly amazing.
Strong Jim Lahey vibes from the farmer.

I can absolutely confirm that waterfowl hunters are the craziest, wildest, nuttiest hunters out there. I would know, I am one

I gave it up years ago

Update.
Much to my surprise, it looks like the landowner is being charged with 3 misdemeanors. I'm also hearing one of the hunters is being charged with criminal trespass because he was told not to go near Jeff's land, but did so anyway (hard to believe that's going to hold up in court).

I can see where this creates conflict between the two neighbors…

Reason to not let them back to hunt sure.

Bad situation all around really.

Landowners are cousins according to what I'm hearing. The hunters got permission again 2 days later and hunted the same bean field.

All because HE wanted to hunt that spot.
