Selling the hunting rights to land

#713810 - 10/13/08 08:54 AM

Seeing I could recieve the signal from KSTP 1500 last night, barely, I decided to call in from here in Chamberlain. One of the later people that called in was from SE North Dakota and thought I was crazy to suggest they were dealing with the issue of selling the rights, permanently selling.
This is an issue you here might want to follow.

That's interesting as I wasn't aware this was being banned. As my parents are now retired ND farmers and no one in the family wants to farm, I've been thinking of ways to maintain our rights to hunt the land, the land also has oil possibilities so we may need to keep ownership of the land and lease it out permanently for farming and keep the land for hunting and mineral rights.

I see the reasoning for ND to ban this practice. Imagine 2-3 generations from now when you have land that could have divided ownership between mineral rights, hunting rights, farming rights being passed down from generation to generation. Ugh!

Wow!
I never thought about selling rights like that lasting forever. I personally would never do that. If you were the homeowner and wanted to sell the land that would really decrease the value. Can you imagine finding a great property and want to buy it just to find out someone else will hunt that property anytime they want. If I were in that state I would be happy about this law!
