Tons of jurisdictions use different posting methods such as painting trees or fence posts. This is by far more effective and much harder for azzholes to mess with. In some states, painting every few fence posts or trees with purple paint (or other colours) is sufficient.

How much does an acre go for out that way and what size is the average block of property?
I tried finding numbers for ON but couldn't find what I wanted for comparison. Thats for another day when I am bored.
Saskatchewan. Where the tree and fence population is inversely proportional to land value.
In the south that is.
The area is divided up into 1 mile wide, by two miles high blocks. 1 square mile is a Section, the normal unit of measure is a Quarter Section, or half by half mile. More or less, 160 Acres.
The system allowed each Settler to have road along one side of their property, and was considered to be about what a family was able to farm. These days there is no a family on every Quarter, so some of the road allowances that were drawn on maps never got road on them, and some roads have been plowed under to make farming the area as a single block easier.
These days, if you can swing the financing, you can farm dozens of full sections almost by your self. And you pretty much need the big equipment to farm the big land, so it's a bit of a catch-22.
Land prices vary immensely, depending on a lot of factors, such as the soil type, and location, what the production capability is, and often enough, who the neighbors are.
Its all over the place but this article might help a bit on pricing. In my areas it varies between 2500-3000 an acre based on sales of adjoining land.

Generally they have to be chasing/harassing wildlife or domestic animals. You can't just dump a dog that is wandering around loose, unless the law has changed from when I lived in BC.
A single free running dog in sask is called a stray, and is invited in for food and shelter while you try to find the owner, usually easy.
A pair or more of free running dogs are called a pack, and at the first sign of aggression are “dumped”.
SOP for anybody on a farm. Laws are all well and good till your kids or livestock are threatened. And that threat can be at scope range in Saskatchewan. Best keep your dogs under control and close! Apparently dogs can’t read signs...
We had a recent issue with some nearby Pyraneese (?) that went feral. Owners put the word out, dump em if you see em. Coyotes are one thing, 180lb starving Pyrenees are another...
Not to sound heartless, we do have what’s known as the call rule.
“Hey, I think your dog is chasing my cows”
“####, I’ll be there right away” retrieve offender, suitable dog instructions not do that again...
Hey, that dog is back... boom.

What part of "specific conditions" did you miss?
I have had the sorry displeasure of destroying three dogs, so far, and never yet had anyone come looking.
My sympathy levels go right the hells away, when I have to deal with picking up torn up lamb carcasses, or dealing with grave injuries to my stock.
The smart money is on keeping your dogs at home, if you want them to last.
A collar with contact info will help too. If it isn't chasing the livestock...
This thread is hilarious. People are acting like the sky is falling. Manitoba has had the same laws in place for decades, and hunting is still strong. You just need to find crown land (leased or otherwise), or secure permission before the season starts. Honestly, it's not that hard to do.
Oh, and land ownership maps are a thing. It's not impossible to figure out who owns a specific parcel of land.

Sounds like some of the locals in that area are a little off. While there are always two sides to a story threatening to shoot people is a hard no-go. The last thing anyone or any community needs it a two-way range, permission or not.
Leased crown land is an interesting one when it comes to first nations hunting rights. I suspect if that one went up the courts the farmers/lessee would be on the losing end.
Exactly. The only people really against this law are the truck hunters that want to drive around old yard sites and cover 100 quarters of land per day in an effort to kill a booner. The dad that just wants to take his son out to shoot some Huns will have no problem finding places to hunt.
Mixed feelings on this one. Seen a lot of change in Saskatchewan from when I was farm kid in the 1980s. It was big news when posted signs became an enforced thing.
So long as people understand the history of common law access and trespass, we'll be okay. Some seem to think entering a field after crop is off is akin to a home invasion.
What we need is some basic freedom to roam protections in Canada.
There of course needs to be reasonable limits to protect landowners from any & all bull####. That includes jackasses that tear up unimproved access roads - heavy fines or jail.
But respectful access should just be a formality.

The new trespass law didn’t have anything to do with hunting and everything to do with 5 armed and drunk model citizens on a crime spree, invading a pretty decent guy’s yard, tried to steal a new ride, punched his wife in the head and attempted to run over everyone in sight. Somewhere in that melee one of them deservedly ended up getting himself dead.
The new trespass law was being lobbied for by SARM long before Buschie was around. The government accepted it to lower the temperature. Had Bushie not happened the government would have continued to reject the resolution.
It was a case of little men with big egos feeling disrespected.

I was clarifying the specific conditions.
