In this state up here you have to post every 50 feet.. They did come up with a break threw for the large land owners that allows them to use to silver rings painted around the trees. The rings represent signs which can be costly just to have some mindless fool tear them down on them. They also will lay some heavey fines when they catch them that includes their right to hunt for a year taken away from them on the first offense. So i would do what others have suggested. Try and get some proof and get them busted for it..

This does not affect my hunting areas as I hunt on privately owned paper company lands that are opened to the public.. One such area last year was gated for miles and as I drove up threw the road crew asked me how I got in. They informed the dirt road was closed until next week. I told them how I drove threw and said I was willing to leave as I had no idea.. They said it was alright to stay in there for today and that gate will be getting locked after I left..

Now get this part.. The darn road crew had 2 in the cab and 2 on back with chairs and shotguns. This was witnessed by myself and 2 other vehicles that came threw the same way I did. I called and made a report on that one.. Guess what the road was all graded up when they opened the gate up the following Monday. Normally they are grading when they open the road up.. So I guess I stumble onto something and the company must have put a stop to it.. I will be walking up threw part of that area this year as well and setting up for a large tom if he will show himself again.. I most likely will be carrying my camera along for a just in case moment..
