RE: Another question on ethics
I respect your opinion. However, when people ask me why I don't post my land, I offer them this perspective. I hunt on my land but also on a lot of other folks's land. If I post my land, but then people always see me tromping around on other people's land, Idon't have any great expectation that they will respect any posted signs that I would put up.
Maybe it sounds strange, but that is the perspective that I was raised with.
I think that this is an interesting issue. A lot of people argue from a purely "letter of the law" perspective (which is fine by me) whereas others seem to operate more according to tradition.
By the way, just for the record, I have never tresspassed on the jerk's land to hunt deer. But then again, I have never tried to call back the beagles or coonhounds if they started to cut across the corner of his property.
