Enforcement Needed

Carson Johnson countered that all the instances cited involve an obvious violation of existing law, either trespass or firing from wi.hin 300 feet of the road or hunting on posted property. "If the law enforcement officials can't apprehend the violators, why do we keep making more laws?”

Robert Eastham of Flint Hill. while not opposing the new ordinance, described it as “just a gesture” and maintained that it will be impossible to prove in court that someone is attempting to hunt.

Illegal hunters are already committing breaches of the peace and trespass, he said. “The problem is enforcement...We’re just spinning wheels and wasting time...until we force enforcement on our law enforcement officers.”

Noting that law enforcement officials have complained about difficulty in enforcing hunting laws, Eastham suggesting that the supervisors pressure the General Assembly for clear cut legislation to control hunting abuses. He again emphasized that he did not oppose the ordinance under consideration at Monday’s hearing “but I see no good will come of it."
