The law posted is a game law I believe it was probably written with the fact that often times landowners are unknown/unavailable or timber companies own the land and such.Like I said I don't think the laws are perfectI was just stating thatimperfect as some are they are still law. And I agree in a residential area or home dwelling most wouldknock on the door and ask permission, but often times when hunting there are just blocks of land and there is no door to knock on. I am not even sure how/if this law would be applied outside of a hunting area(i.e. neighborhood/home) or if any other law would supercede it.
