all of a sudden - lots of new no hunting signs
- Thread starter fat but funky
- Start date
On my uncle's farm in Quebec his land is posted for no hunting. There are people who have a hunting camp there that he has given permission to hunt. He used to have lots of trouble due to their close proximity to Montreal (about 40 miles). The usual stuff; gates open or wrecked, animals spooked, etc. The people who have the camp now police everything and there is no problem. He was telling me more of the locals are doing this and everyone is happy. This is an approach you can use when approaching a farmer. Most are not anti hunting they just get tired of the BS.
I phone my landowner, got the following explanation
1.) Signs were put up by the guy 'Dave' who hunts the two quarters south of his land
2.) landowner didn't know that Dave had put a sign up on his land
3.) still ok for me to hunt on the quarter in question
All this was sent to me as a voice mail. I saved the voicemail and will have it handy in case I have any encounters with Dave or anyone else.
When I went back to the land, my landowner had removed the sign that was on his land
thanks all.

From Saskatchewan Wildlife Act
Hunting on certain lands
41(1) Where there are legible signs, of a size specified in the regulations, prominently placed along the boundaries of any land so as to provide reasonable notice bearing the words “No Trespassing” or «Entrée interdite», “No Hunting” or «Défense de chasser», “No Shooting” or «Tir interdit», or words or symbols to a similar effect, no person shall hunt any wildlife within the boundaries of that land except with the consent of the owner or occupant.
Also
(6) Where an owner or occupier of land has not erected or placed signs along the boundaries of his or her land in accordance with subsection (1) or (2), that fact alone:
(a) is not to be deemed to imply consent by him or her to entry on the land; or
(b) does not imply a right of access to his or her land for the purpose of
hunting.
