RE: Posted land ?
I talked to one of my landowners yesterday and she was dissapointed when I told her I had killed 4 does on her property (5 acres)and my buddy had killed 4 nearby. we are the only two that have permission because she doesnt trust anyone else to be safe. I guess it depends on where you are.
Near my camp, some of the landowners post because they have enough ground for their friends and family and not much more. With them, it's not the deer numbers it's merely a matter of being able to hunt their own ground without interference. Most other posted property I know of is accessable by merely asking well before the season. Archery is better recieved aroundsouthwestern PAthan gun hunting but it is more populated around here.
