This is one of those technical questions that I would like to know the answer to. I would really appreciate not getting any post of "we don't want to promote trespassing" or "Ghee Seth, if it's posted why don't you just stay off". I'm asking this not because I plan on trespassing or because I want to promote trespassing.
A local gun club enters into agreements with land owners where they will agree to post the owners property in exchange for the landowner having full use of the gun club's facility. Shooting ranges, skeet and trap houses, IPSC shooting courses, 3D archery course, ect. Of course, the land owner agrees to allow any gun club member the right to hunt on his land. The landowner can also allow anyone else of his choosing to hunt his land.
Now, if one of these club members are hunting and happens upon another individual who they believe or even know is trespassing, is it legal for them to call the police and turn them in? I'm going to guess "yes" because I'm (again) going to guess that the agreement between the club and the landowner is some type of land\lease.
Now, my second question is my neighbor has told me that no one is allowed to hunt his property, which is adjacent to mine. I have told him that should I see anyone on "my end" (as he cannot see that part unless he hikes down there) of his property, I would ask them to leave and if they don't , I would call the police for trespassing. But, can I legally do this since I am not the landowner?
Again, I am looking for the technically correct answer here. I am fully aware of the correct practical answer.
I really appreciate your response's.
