Where i live, if the land is legally posted, you must have written permission on your person to hunt the land. If the land is not legally posted, which mine isn' t, you still must have verbal permission to hunt it. I have some signs up, but to be legally posted, they have to be placed every so many feet and purple paint up. I can' t take steps out. I built my stands like an ordinary ladder stand, except I made oversized floors, walls about halfway up, a door where you climb in the ladder and a plywood roof. I have chairs in them, which I took out so for someone to hunt it, they would have to sit on their knees.
