Re: Free..... "Posted - No Trespassing" signs

Most of the replies sound like the typical PA hunter jargon. What all this leads up to is "pay to hunt". How many of you have tried to hunt in other states? You will find that it isn't easy to find land that the owner will allow anybody on without paying to use the land. In California one place I hunted was open to hunters. Two years later it was posted "by written permission" and the year following was $500. Try finding free hunting land for mulies or antelope. In Arkansas it was similar, a day of duck hunting was $100. OK, sure, give me the "well then hunt public land" BS. Just like in PA, the public lands are loaded with hunters and game is less than plentiful. Most of my PA hunting is on neighboring properties. One of these properties is now unavailable. Why? because 4 years ago somebody came along and asked the owner if he could "post it" for him so he could hunt there. Those that had permission could still hunt it. The next year the same person nicely offered to lease it for the "exclusive" rights to hunt it. Wake up folks. One thing leads to another. When you are paying to hunt you will see it different.
