ohio posting laws?
alright guys last year i bought a farm in southeast ohio and leased two. i have a neighbor on the farm i bought getting his panties up in a bunch because i posted my signs right on the line. he claims that they need to be 10 ft. off of the line on my side, when his fence is on the line and even on parts of my property (which im fine with, but just saying how does that make sense? lol). I can not find anywhere online about the laws on posting. i am a resident of PA and if this were the case in pa i would be perfectly fine. please help me out guys.

I don't know about Ohio, but in MN and I believe WI. The signs only have to be posted "prominently" and about every 150' or so. Another place to look would be the DNR website for Ohio.

Posted signs in Ohio are an invitation for the DNR to visit any time they drive by. If you post a property off limits it gives the dnr the right to make sure the signs are followed including you. If you don't mind the visit-s, have at it. I'm not thrilled with seeing people walk up on me on my own land.
The only real way to keep people off is to let someone squat on the place and look after it. I know a WV hillbilly who'd love the job.

Post it as No Hunting except by written permission. The best advice is to go to your wildlife enforcement agency and ask them for a copy of the regulation that says how to post your property. read it and then ask for any clarification in writing then post according to what you have. You can't go wrong that way. And get the name ofthe person you are talking too.

posting regs will vary,
in general they wont tell you specifically how to post,
they will just state has to be conspicuous,
you have to use your better judgement as to how conspicuous applies to that site,
if your neighbor claims has to be 10' off the line,
then tell him nicely, thanks for pointing that out, i looked up the regs and didnt see that mentioned anywhere,
he could be BS'ing you or he could believe that,
could be an old rule/reg from years ago.

The property I hunt is surround by a land owner that breeds horse and is completely anti-hunting. His signs are directly on the property line with No Hunting/No Tresspassing. Is this law? Dunno, but it works for me.

I've also been told (ohio) you only need one sign per property no matter what the size is. On the line is fine as long as you know the line and can prove it, which will probably end up in court as a LEO isn't a surveyor.
