well anyway their is no hunting signs up but their is alot of trail's back their witch it looks like 4wheelers have been in.. but anyway i want to go shed hunting next month an was woundering would ya'll thing i would get fine'd or locked up for looking? its a prime place for big an i mean BIG bucks.. i have seen im thinking it grossed around 190-200 he is a big guy.. but i will never hunt it.. i just want the antler drops
what do you guy's think about going in their an looking for shed's? i mean like i said im not hunting it an im not planning on hunting it..it's tempting but im not getting my bow an all taken for a deer you know..

Well, the obvious response would be "Just go ask", but I would think that unless it is fenced or posted No Trespassing it might be OK. I would ask.

It wouldbe pretty silly to get in trouble over something like not having your facts straight.

Good luck.
I hope you get in.

RE: question i have for everyone
 

well since your not hunting i would see no problem ,does it say no tresspasing cause then you could have a problem but like you said your out hiking:)

RE: question i have for everyone
 

Yea, i mean i dont know if i ask the school or if i ask the Dnr,i mean i had been in this same spot befor but in a different county.
all they told me was No guns,No bow's an thats it.. but their is only signs that says no hunting an that is it..
i mean i dont want to hunt it.. but then i do but i know i cant i just want to find drop's..
but yes i will call around but what happens if i cant get ahold of anyone? do i just go over an look for shed's or what?

RE: question i have for everyone
 

You got every right to be on state land just like those four wheelers do , I'd say your not gonna get in any trouble just for walking around .
So go out there and look to your hearts content and let us know if you find anything

RE: question i have for everyone
 

Why are there posted signs on state land is the question you should be asking. If there is a brute in there you should be hunting not only his sheds, but what they fell from as well.

RE: question i have for everyone
 

ok will do i think i am going to go out this sunday.. an look for lastyears drop's i doubt anyone has been out their to look. not alot of hunter's in my county..but yea i am going out next month too to look for this year's drop's to.
thanks for ya'lls opinion's

RE: question i have for everyone
 

I agree.

RE: question i have for everyone
 

Alot of state land in Maryland you cant hunt..I have no idea why it is like that..

RE: question i have for everyone
 

I agree as well, butwould still ask permission. It only makes you look better.Heck, maybe they will even let you hunt there if you ask and look to be the "considerate hunter"

RE: question i have for everyone
 

I agree as well...go on a nice "hiking trip".

RE: question i have for everyone
 

Just because it is state land does not give you rights to be on it. There are tons of what they call "school sections" in SD and WY. They are state owned but NOT public property. You can and will get prosecuted for tresspassing.

The state leases these lands to private landowners. The leasee has the say as to what goes on there, not the state. Get permission before going. The DNR won't do you any good, you have to find out who leases the land and talk to them.

RE: question i have for everyone
 

I don't see any problem with just walking around either, unless it says no trespassing. That's a different story. Maybe you should ask. You never know, my princliple is an avid whitetail and elk hunter. Maybe that school's will be too!

RE: question i have for everyone
 

it is not leased it is owned by the state of maryland for the private schooling. not public an i looked already it says no hunting
thats the only sign i have seen in the past 15 years

RE: question i have for everyone
 

Like I said if the four wheelers are using it , then you should too.
The tax's you pay help pay for that land so you have a right to use it too.

RE: question i have for everyone
 

i went out their yesterday to walk around an i found a bunch of lastyears sheds not all chewed up like i would have thought..
i was talking to the guy that runs the school he said they are letting people clear the deer out so i asked him about hunting he said sure.. so he put me in the system as he said with my name tel number an address..
so i am thinking i am gonna go hunt it this weekend or the next befor the season is out thanks!

I think it is legal as long as you do not have a weapon.
