that is a great point, and i hope more people do that. that kinda land owner usually says "i like to see deer but only when there're heads are up" meaning when the heads are down they are eating his/her crops. i heard a farmer say that not too long ago, i liked it.. but where we have problems are when you have woodlots that boarder farms that someone else owns and its only for hunting bucks. just a small hunting party of like 5 hunters, and they will only take a few bucks and wont let anyone hunt it. what they should do is help the heard and the farmer that is next to them and let people on to shot some doe. because thats where the deer numbers start getting really high.. and people drive by the farms in the evening and say "wow look at all those deer, people are crazy when they say that the deer numbers are down".. i just want to tell those people to drive on public ground and u wont think that ...

Posted ground can mean an opportunity for the hunter who cares enough about his sport to devote some time in the off season. I've found that many posted signs go up in response to the weekend warrior who shows up in the season and fails to show the proper respect and courtesies due to the landowner. The dedicated sportsman who takes the time to let the landowner get to know that he will treat the land he's priveleged to hunt on with respect gets a relatively uncrowded and unspoiled place to hunt as his reward. It aint always easy but it is worth the time and effort!
