It's unfortnate farmers do not have the same property rights as towns people. If someone was taking their quad or snowmobile tearing up city property, the idot would be dealt with, but not in rural Sask. I'd like to see a bounty on the those sob's town and city dewellers that seem to think all ruarl land is their own recreational paradise to use as they see fit. Maybe what we need is a bounty on those sob's, I hear a coyote is worth a $100.00 maybe a recreational land user on your property would be worth $50.00 and you keep their quad or snowmobile. Of coarse I'm just kidding, but like this thread suggest's, somthing has to done about this increasly out of control problem.

I agree dalek, it's time to put some teeth in landowners property rights.

We are headed in the opposite direction. Absolutelely everyone thinks they have their own legitimate interest in your rural land.
And they are encouraged and validated by such government entities as Sask Crop Insurance. Are you aware of the requirement to allow hunting on your land if you want to collect any Wildlife damages.
And just why should anyone feel threatened when confronted by trespassers and their usual totally inappropriate attitude and behavior. There are darn few people brave enough (or stupid enough) to asert their actual rights.
As is so true in the long run; "the level of injustice you will receive is exactly the level that you will tolerate"

Do you guys even drive a quad like WT, Get out a little bit. Mind you I don't have city dwellers tearing up my fields just locals and it happens deal with it, relax a little. I remember asking in a distant local bar once if there are trails or can I ride my quad around here and my goodness the silence would kill.

About 4 years ago a neighbor of mine who doesn't farm a lot of land but it is spread out a lot, was about to seed one of his more distant 1/4's. All had looked well from the road, but when he worked his way around to the far side of the 1/4, he found about 5 acres destroyed by 4x4 trucks. He was not impressed and relax was the furthest word from his mind. By the time he went home, got another tractor and a disk, leveled the ruts, more than half a day was gone. Oh, he did make a couple of bucks on the empties he picked up.
