yo, Zippy- how the hell are you supposed to know who owns what, with
large tracts of hundreds of acres, and no homes in sight ?


Yo ho, anonymous ****head!

Here in the land of the, at least semi-literate, we have a county government
with offices that handle just such questions. For example,

This is the map of my mother's and uncle's land: http://tinyurl.com/3qc2o

Which can be found by going to this site: http://maps.co.caldwell.nc.us/

You might even check with the register of deeds?

With just the slightest amount of due diligence, you might even find someone
who knows someone, who knows the landowner? You see, you know that you
don't own the land. So, maybe it belong to someone other than you?

Really, it's not that difficult a concept to grasp. Sure the owner might be
required by law to post his or her land, but it never hurts to ask first,
before you go stepping on you dick!

that's what the posting statutes were specifically designed to prevent-
the wholesale CLOSING OFF of hunting lands by owners who don't even
live in the area

What does it matter, if they don't live in the area? If they post the land
and you don't have permission to hunt it, you are trespassing.

From your source:

"The current state of American hunting law reflects the history of the right
to hunt in this nation. Most states now have statutes requiring landowners
to post their land to exclude hunters; the other states have statutes
requiring hunters to get explicit permission from landowners before they
hunt. Even Vermont, which has a constitutional provision granting hunters
the right to hunt on unenclosed private land, has a posting statute."

You see things have changed a slight bit since the 1700s.

otherwise the King of England could effectively buy and close all
hunting land in the USA- and not post it either- and not even be a
citizen to boot

Ok, we know that you are a TROLL and that you're not all that bright, but
the last King Of England died in 1952. They now have a Queen. Her name is
Elizabeth II

Be that as it may. Many foreign companies own land in the U.S., and I'd bet
a shiny nickle that Queen Elizabeth II has some land here too. And I bet
that you can't hunt that land either.

think about the abuses of that system, you are proposing

I propose nothing. You on the other hand propose to rush willy nilly on to
someone's land with a firearm, without the decency of asking the landowner
first! If I were proposing anything, and I am not, I would proposr that you
think before you shove you head up your ass, next time.

the posting statutes see to it, so that billionaire tycoons don't
effectively choke off hunting from common folk

No they don't, you dimwitted mutant ****-maggot. Billionaire tycoons, or
raccoons for that matter, would simply pay someone to post their lands for
them and you still couldn't legally hunt that land--dumbass!

Posting statutes give common folk the right to protect their lands from
imbeciles like you!

ever heard of government by the people, for the people ?

Yeah, I'm a student of political science, so I know that "government of the
people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." is
a the last phrase in Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, and has nothing to do
with posting statutes, but referred to the salvation of the Union.

that's the USA

Well yeah, since Lincoln's armies were able to defeat those of the
Confederate States. However, that's a story for another time, right?
