Maybe I should have you come on out to us here in Virginia an help us?!?! How 'bout it?
What is surrounding the private land you're leasing? If it's other private land then you should know where the boundaries are unless you know that land owner too.
Not exactly what I was talking about though. I was talking about hunters here in Colorado who are hunting on public land should know the boundaries of all the private land in the area they're hunting in.
Yes, you need to check maps, and if you see private land near the area you plan to hunt you better know where the private land boundaries are. If you plan to get close to it a GPS is a good thing to have. In my own case i'll mark my maps, and I try to stay a safe distance away. I don't know exactly where the lines are when i'm in the field, but i know about where they are, and don't even come close to them. I don't use a GPS, so I play it safe.
Going on private land, and saying you didn't know where the boundaries are will get you a ticket everytime if the land owner complains.
