I live in Centre County, PA, and have always assumed that if I don't
see a NO HUNTING or NO TRESPASSING sign, I can hunt on that land.
Provided it's in the country and not obviously a home area, of course.

I've never had a problem.

. Signs must be placed on their own standard, not on trees or posts.

I would estimate that 99 and 44/100 % of the signs I've seen have been
on tree trunks.

Un-flocking-believable...do you feel the need to post your home with a
sign that says "No one is allowed to come in and help themselves to
whatever they wish" to prevent people from doing such? Would you
support such a requirement? And how would you feel if you were required
to similarly post _every_ single possession you to which you have title?
As a landowner, I pay property taxes in a fair number of areas (and
can't homestead exempt) at the same rate as those who utilize the full
services those taxes support, and in several instances, I am required by
law to pay "non-resident" licensing to hunt or fish my own land. And
yet, if I don't post my land in a highly-specific method, I am construed
to be allowing its use as essentially open land. I make no claim to the
free-roaming game that might happen upon the land, only to my right to
control access to the land that I own. Yet you and others seem to think
trespass fair and just. So, I repeat - how to you feel about your own
home and possessions?

TC,
R


ps- as a landowner, you're pret-ty damn UNINFORMED about posting
statutes that have been in effect since the land was first settled by
the Pilgrims on the Mayflower...

I guess it's time you "landowners" woke up and smelled the coffee ?

I'm curious as to your *point*.

Are you tryin' to inform those who may wish to exclude hunters from their
land, in Penn,, that they might wish to post their lands?

I mean, it's not as though you are creating any original work of your own,
right? http://www.law.duke.edu/shell/cite.pl?54+Duke+L.+J.+549

Or, is this just another pointless post from a pointless TROLL?

Again, just curious.

Points intended a

#1 if you own land, and live in a posting statute state- then post it-
don't expect hunters to stay out, if you're too lazy to get off your
butt and post the land as the law REQUIRES. We post our land, you can
post yours too- if the state statute requires it. Some landowners get
a feudal king mentality that just because they own land, they aren't
subject to state laws about the land. Wake up, and know the laws about
your property. You posted the link, just like I did- but how many
hunters and landowners are aware of that info ? not many...

#2, if you're a hunter, and the land is posted- don't enter without
asking for permission

#3, if the land is NOT posted, and you live in one of the "posting
statute" states- you can enter the land LEGALLY without the permission
of the landowner- THAT'S THE LAW- and if landowners don't like it, he
can tell you to leave- and you have to leave- but if the landowner
doesn't like it, again- he shoujld get off his lazy butt and post his
property, as the statute requires.

#4, if the land isn't posted, and the landowner asks you to leave, you
have to leave

your posts are a poor excuse for not posting your land per statute...

maybe the time you spend windbagging here, you should spend posting
your land properly
