I live/hunt in NY. I based my answer to the original post that stated the land was not posted. I hunt with plenty of cops here and have had lengthy discussions with them about hunting land that is not posted. If there are no posted signs its pretty much fair game here, and you can bet you wont be the only one thats in there either. No posted signs is pretty much an invitation to hunt there around here. People that dont want people on their property should make it clear there is no trespassing-otherwise you mite as well put up a welcome sign. Again i am referring to where i live and the perception of unposted property by people that live here. Every place is different. And as for having people trespass where i hunt-it happens all the time. Countless times ive had people in my stands when i arrive, gut piles from other hunters, stolen stands and trail cams, deer shot by road hunters right underneath my stand, and the list goes on and on. All on "private" property where i had sole permission. It sucks but its unfortunately part of the game.
It was a hypothetical scenario bro- you want to call me a poacher-fine. Guys like you always need to be reassured they're right. Funny thing is i didnt think there was a correct answer for a hypothetical question-its make believe!!!
But your poaching in NY is reality, now isn't it? Everybody else does it, so why should you be singled out, right? Shoe fits, wear it. Be a man, and admit you poach. Does that make me better than you? You bet your ass it does. Sorry it hurts your feelings. Lets leave it at this. I'm a self righteous prick, and your a poacher? Deal?
