I approached some hunters once with my right hand in my jacket pocket. That story quickly blossomed into one about me "brandishing a pistol." Granted, there might have been a pistol in my pocket, but there was not one in there on that day. I went and talked to the sheriff and got that one straight with him immediately. I told him I was okay with everyone else thinking the story was true, but I wanted him to know what the real skinny was.
My signs are ten feet off the ground. When I started that, I stopped having to replace them every year. A survey crew came through and had one of those spray paint can on a pole gizmos. I guess they were our typical hunters, as they sprayed paint over the "NO" above, "hunting, trapping, trespassing," and wrote "OK," obliterating the words, "trapping," and "trespassing." Cute, eh? I'm sure they are all solid property rights guys when they are at home.
