What is there to admit? Merely stated what happens most places where people buy land, post it for their own use, then those that've lived around there all their lives, hunt on it againonce the owners have gone home.

Many times those that buy land and post it, once hunted in the area with permission, then repay the favor by excluding those very people upon whom they once depended for a place to hunt.

That happened with an aunt's farm in Potter Co. over 35 years ago. The family from the Lehigh Valleythat bought it, had hunted around there for years, then posted the place and informed all the neighboring farmers they could no longerhunt on their farmland.

One neighbor told the new guy that he'd never set foot on my aunt's place, but since he nowwasn't welcome there, the new owner who had huntedthat neighbor's600 acrefarmfor years, was no longer welcome there either. Sounded about right to me.
