is this harassment

If you hunt your property, you have to allow anyone that asks permission access?

If your land is posted red that means no hunting by anyone, including yourself. If your land is posted yellow it means hunting by permission only.
If it's posted yellow you can hunt there, and if someone asks your permission to hunt there, you can let them have a crack at it, or you can tell them to take a hike.
Just because it's posted yellow, doesn't mean you have to let anyone that asks permission to hunt there, on your property.

Those actions may only be taken on "reasonable and probable" grounds. As the property owner, you have the right to ask what those "grounds" are. As for leaving the gate open... that is just rude, and is actionable if it causes "loss."

This would be the correct answer in Ontario. They do not need a Warrant however they do require reasonable grounds.

No harm in going and asking the what's going on. Might have nothing to do with you and maybe they are on to a poacher? Might be worth while fixing out what's going on.

Yup, chain it. Also depends on what authority they have in a "resort of wildlife" when it is private property. Some Wildlife Acts can take away land ownership "rights" with respect to wildlife (we don't actually have rights on a freehold). Here in NB we have no right to close our property to allow hunting by owner and invited guests only, if we hunt on the property we have to allow reasonable access to others with permission under the wildlife act.

I'm sure glad we have no such law in Ontario. Jysys,with a few million hunters,I can just imagine what that would look like.f:P:

I think you should call the DNR office. If your property is posted properly, with the appropriate colored disks, you can control who hunts there. If you don't want someone else hunting there that's up to you.

If I own it, noone is coming on it. Period. What the hell is this colored disk garbage? With all due respect, it sounds idiotic.

The colored disks identify it as private freehold, without the disks people see it as crown land, and anyone's game.
To be honest with you, some people could care a less whether you own it and pay the tax or not.

When I hunted in Sask, the common practise was to sign corners and entrances if the farmer didn't want hunters on his land. Another trick was to drape an old tire on fence posts as a continuation marker. So, yes coloured disks or signage work as long as the intent is to delineate property lines for a purpose.

Not hunters you don't, you just need to post it Yellow, that way you and anyone you decide can hunt, no one else. DERD and RCMP have the right to go on it but I'm not sure what their responsibility is with regards to damages such as driving across a hayfield or loss of livestock due to leaving gates open.

We are getting more contact with opp and mnr up in north bay as well the last few years. Never even seen them before.

I consider this harassment.

thebaron said:
Correct. I... Never said otherwise?

Amelio thinks getting your license checked by a warden is harassment though.

My experience is people who feel that law enforcement is harassing them while doing their job, such as checking licenses, are usually the type who operate in the grey areas.

Good luck with that.......

I was referring to NB laws not allowing owners to have exclusive use of their property as implied earlier in the thread. I know people will still trespass. As you stated it seems over complicated for nothing. Personally I always assume land is private and take measures to make sure I can hunt there.
Anyway...getting off track here lol.
 
Big ugly coded master padlocks are about 18$ at Home Depot, 3/8" grade 70 chain is what, 2.50$ a foot??

Sounds like 30$ worth of no f@cking trespassing, or snooping, to me.....

It'll give everyone involved the time to think "is what I'm concerned with on this land really THAT worrisome?? Do I really want to have to explain this to the boss??". If they think there's mass grave of dead hookers on your land, they'll grind the chain. If not, they'll either f$ck off or come ask permission.

You guys might want to actually know what the law says before getting in a huff:

Right of passage

11.11 While carrying out duties or functions under this Act, wildlife officers and analysts, and any persons accompanying them, may enter on and pass through or over private property without being liable for doing so and without any person having the right to object to that use of the property.
