Idaho BLM, please mark your fences!

[Rotnguns]

Was out on opening day scouting and saw lots of huns and some quail. But also, two stretches of fence, clearly in BLM land, with a "BLM look" to it (T posts, tight, vertical stringers). But, no signs. Idaho trespass laws were made very strict a few years ago, relaxing requirements for landowners to mark their property (fences adjoining public land are supposed to be marked at the corners). First-offense trespassing carries a fine and loss of hunting rights for a year. BLM's fences are clearly well-maintained, how about putting some signs on them??

Are they internal grazing fences? What does OnX show?

Internal fences on BLM land as shown by OnX. There are some ranches in the area but the property owners have marked their fences and corners.

Is it going to be a good bird year? I have been seeing a lot of Quail this summer.

They don’t mark their fences in any state I’ve hunted that I can remember.

Most places I’ve been if it’s new boundary fence, it’s marked. No need to mark internal grazing fences.

saw quail and the biggest flock of huns I've ever seen. virtually no other hunters around.
