Reply to comment by bluecollarNH in Tree Stand by RidingBeen

I post my land from all the boundaries that are easy to access via my vehicle. It’s just a hair over 50 acres. In the past, people have put up stands or cams in an area that is easily accessible via the neighbor’s property (that he doesn’t have posted) but is hard for me to access without my waders on. There are a few other stands in that area so they might think it’s okay. It’s not. The guys who have stands there are ones that know that I walk my two dogs there every day rain or shine and I don’t fancy being shot.

I would never hunt posted property. OP was talking about unposted property. Huge difference.

I understand and agree. I just wanted to clarify that my land may initially appear unposted from some directions, and also note that the law says it must be posted on all property lines in order to be properly posted, but that there could be circumstances in which the landowner strongly prefers to be asked first despite the land appearing to be unposted.

If I cross only your line that isn't posted, I have no way of knowing that it's posted or that you'd "prefer to be asked first".

You have no idea about the particulars of my land, the particulars of the land that it abuts, how many people in my community use it, how many people have knowledge of it, or anything really.

Really dude? Do you have to resort to this kind of bullshit?

Anyway, that's not worth focusing on. The points stands, if I cross a line that isn't posted and it looks exactly like the land that I came from, then I have no way of knowing that the line on the opposite side of your property is posted. And I also have no idea what your preference is (not that it matters what your preference is if you don't post). If you don't post, that's on you. You can always post it so that hunting is by permission of landowner only.

If you can’t access the entire perimeter of your property, you can post a portion of it. The “no hunting” can be the entire property or just certain parcels. This allows you to post certain areas, such as a pasture, dog walking area, or an area around house/barn.

You could also post “no hunting without permission”. This allows you to control access while still allowing hunting.
