I think Wisconsin moved to eliminate the "posting" requirement on private land that didn't abut state/county land...puts the burden on the hunters to know where they are hunting. Kinda sad when you think about it...ask permission that you may or may not get but if you do, then no problem. Don't ask and get caught...you will likely NEVER get permission in the future. Where I hunt deer the owner has been in a long standing battle with his neighbors over trespassing. Here the sheriff, not the DNR, is charged with that and his neighbors have been hauled in. Last year we took my new UTV on a tour of the property and found 2 new tower stands on the edge of the neighbor's property with no logical place to shoot other than into land they didn't own. They even had the audacity to post their side! I'm looking at ways to thwart them next year...trail cameras, deer repellants, whatever it takes. This is how the Hatfields and McCoys started I think
