Tresspassing Slob Hunters, Part II

[Garandman]

Well, if you were going to insult, do it properly. Call them an ignoramus!

Actually, it depends on the state your in and the laws of that state. Vermont and New Hampshire are both open states. Where your pretty much welcome to enjoy out door activities and pretty much go any where you please within Reason on some one else's property. The term being within reason, and if the land isn't posted. This includes, hunting, fishing, hiking, cross country skiing, ect....

It doesn't mean that if someone is acting like an a## you don't have a right to call the law on them, or ask the person to leave.

You don't activity hunt in someone's live stock pen, pasture with live stock in it, or next to the home or barn. The way those two states are, unless your property is posted, you are allowing folks to use your property for out door activities. It's pretty much ingrained in the culture up there and expected.

Aint never heard anything like that...Why even own property there?

Or at least the property tax ought to be next to nothing if anyone else can use the land. I wonder in the cities there if you can set up your barbecue in the neighbor's back yard.

You should see the laws in South Dakota. You can legally hunt right of ways, aka ditches next to the road.
SD GFP | Hunting | Hunting Areas | Public Road Rights of Way

Or this
4. Trespassing
The state forbids hunters in South Dakota from hunting or trapping any game “on private land without permission from the owner or lessee except in that part of the Black Hills Fire Protection District south of Interstate 90. In that area, no person may enter private land to hunt if the land is posted or if told by the owner or lessee not to do so.”

Check Amazon. My wife got me one that says No Trespassing - I have firearms and a backhoe

I think that signs that threaten firearms and composting trespassers just tell the miscreants that you've something worth stealing. My neighbor has a different strategy, and the whoops and wood-knocks coming from my property further into the woods just reinforces the warning.

It looks like bigfoot is in the background.

Author Michael Perry (Population 485) talks about much the same strategy. You don't want to be too mean, and you don't want to imply wealth. First he made a sign that said

Private Property
Keep Out

Then he realized that it was too antiseptic, So he got an old piece of barnwood, painted the letters with dripping blood red paint, and shot a few holes in it. Oh, and he felt it would be more effective if it was misspelled. He ended up with:

Pervate Property
KEEP OUT!​

Nah, the picture is too clear.

Everyone knows that a Bigfoot/Yeti/sasquatch/Yowie only takes a fuzzy photo.

 

[PILOON]

There are many out there that really don't understand that the signs apply to them. They must think it is only to keep out the "bad guys" or something.

I read a sign on facebook recently that said,

no trespassing,
if you pass this sign,
you are not only a trespasser,
but also a target.

\
My sign reads:
"Be sure you are wearing the clothes you want to be buried in."

The holes show up better on a metal sign, especially if the paint chips nicely.
