Refreshing our recollection, Idaho is streamling its civil and criminal trespass laws.
A theory in Idaho is that behind the bill are the Wilks brothers because:
- The brothers have bought 172,000 of Idaho forrest that was previously open and is now closed to hunters, fishermen, ATV riders
- There’s video of a Wilkes security guard having a run-in with a recreationalist
- interaction between Wilks’ lobbyists with the bills supporters
A legisaltor told a Wilks family member that Idaho isn’t Texas, implying you cannot fence off land that was previously open to recreationalists.
