Default Posting land: Mixed emotions

Well, I've got a 50+ acre of land that my parents own that I'll be bowhunting this season. Do you think it is greedy to post the land hunting by written permission only in an effort to promote QDM and to keep gun hunters from over pressureing the deer on my property?
There is a farm that consist of about 500 acre across the road which is posted and the owners do not allow hunting. With so much land for the deer to live undistrubed in, I feel it is in my best intrest to post my land as well. Ultimately I'd like the deer to move freely from property to property but fear too much pressure on my property will send these deer packing for protected ground.

I feel pretty crapy as I know that people hunt this land. I've seen them other years and I don't mind other hunters if they respect the land and the rules I would like to set forth.

I would like to keep it bow hunting only. This is not negotionable. I feel this is the most effective way to hunt the property with limited pressure on the deer. I'd also like to set some restrictions on the size of harvestable animals. I see real potential for QDM on my property in conjuction with my neighbors.

What are your thoughts?
