Posted Property
Have any of you scouted out a nice piece of land, only to return at the beginning of the season, to find it POSTED?[:'(] Not funny, cause it happened to me. Now I am working on some over pressured, over hunted public property.
I spoke to the guy that owns the land and he told me, that some guys ruined some saplings he had planted in his field, with their ATV.[:@] So no more access, he don't care who you are.[:@][:@]
Any suggestions on making this work because the season already started. I had previously hunted that other piece of property, that got posted, for almost eight years and now it's gone. I am kicking myself for putting all my eggs in one basket.[:@]
Also, I am new to the board, so hi everyone!

Nice thing about Wisconsin, its illegal no matter if private property is posted or not. It is the hunters responsibility to know if land is public or not. If its not public and its not yours just stay off. Simple....

I agree with the idea of helping him out. Also tell him that you would maintain the posted signs. wouldnt hurt to ask.

Heck ofer to purchase and plant some trees . What is it worth to you to unt the ground! Ne has taxes, insurances and sweat equity in that ground. Offer some trees. Maybe someday you can take a kid back i 30 years and poit to the trees you planyed.

RE: Posted Property
Well its late in the season anyway. See if the owner would like some help replanting this spring as well as helping him out with odds and ends through out the winter months. This may get you in good with him. Make a friend. Visit once in a while, call just to say hi and bs with him. Let him know you can help him take care of the property and make sure no one else is messing around on the land.

RE: Posted Property
Here is what I would suggest bro, talk to the guy again and assure him you will not only respect his property but will keep an eye out for anyone who is trespassing or abusing it. You might want to offer to help him replant or replace some of the damaged trees in return for gaining permission again. Never hurts to try

I used to live in NH. If you think you have it rough with finding a spot to hunt, come to Northern Indiana. All privately owned land is off-limits without permission. I'd trade with you in a heartbeat.
