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?

Op


And in California, 1/2 the land is owned by the people. Via government
ownership. So, most likely posting needs to be required. Look at a BLM map
of lots of Northern California woodlands and every other square mile is
public land. Left over from the railroad building days. so if you want the
people to stay off your land, you better post it as yours. With your
contact info. So people can actually check on ownership. A few grazing
lease holders in the West have been slapped down for posting the land. Just
because you have grazing rights, does not infer you have total use of the
land.
