No hunting sign

[elimsprint]

Stuff like this is hard to believe.

Maybe he means the covid shot I did see a great sign once on the Sunshine Coast " No Trespassing, Violators will be Plug Cut and Trolled for Killer Whales"

Friend of mine posted a section of crown land... he hunted it as his private game preserve for 10 years before anyone caught on.

My preference is:

NO HUNTING
NO TRESSPASSING

I think that makes things clear.

Depends, do you intend to hunt your property yourself?
Check local regs, you may be cutting yourself out too.

Reminds me of an article in one of the outdoors magazines. A Florida city was having problems as they had posted No Swimming signs along their beaches and the people ignored them.

Their solution? They posted Do Not Feed the Alligators signs, and folks stayed out of the water as they were supposed to.

Saw one fellow posted his field with the warning that unless you could cross the field in under ten seconds, do not enter, as the bull could do it in eleven!

I have had idiots threaten to call F&W because I was hunting on private land posted "no hunting or trespassing" . It was no surprise that F&W never showed up.

In Ontario if you don't want people on your land anytime the posted sign must be "No Trespassing" and must be spaced as to be reasonable viewable . If you post "No Hunting" signs the implication may be that you do allow other activities such as berry picking , hiking , camping , ATVs and snow machines etc . I was in court over this a few years ago . My land can be accessed from two roads which are 2 of the borders and i have about 35 No Trespassing signs up plus 4 inch red disks between those .

Exactly this.

Is this sign even legal to post? The property owner is threatening death to trespassers. It seems like the police would demand the sign be removed or the owner would be charged with uttering a death threat (im pretty sure this is a crime). On the other hand, if a trespasser entered and was shot, does this improve the legal position of the property owner? Where is Runkle, we need a discussion haha.

where does it say they will be killed?

A bit curious how we have "evolved" as a society. Why signs? If it is private land, and you are not the owner, why would you think that you can enter onto that land without the owner's permission? Why does the land owner have to post any signs to warn? Maybe like thieves - if trespassers experienced true consequences for their actions, might not happen so often??

this guy gets it.......... why should I as a land owner put signs up when someone as trespassers should know where they are. PERIOD

stepped in a big pile of horse crap the other day on one of our trails, neighbors have horses and about 10 acres of open field................. why the F were they on our trails that I pay for the land, taxes and clear the trails on my days off??? went and put a sign up and new gate where they cut a path threw there overgrown field to our place. wife made me put it up and not go over. wasn't going to end well if I went over. hopefully they got the point. but why should I spend the time and money when they know where the property lines are????? still not happy

Same thing happened at my inlaws farm, dropped a few trees where the made a way onto the property.

Even signs are not enough. Was in the bush when I heard some motor bikes coming my way. They must have seen one of my signs because they stopped for a while to discuss the sign before proceeding to tresspass. They were really quite surprised to see me standing on the trail.

it's a lack of respect for people and their property................. really pisses me off!

#### Marcinkos signs, "trespassers will be shot, survivors, shot again"
A sh!thead bought a quarter of bush next to one of our fields. He seen our blind up and put up no xpassing signs. We just flipped them around, goes both ways chum. Good thing we don't hunt that area much. When they approached us one night, driving their truck on our field half pissed, they were pretty huffy, until bud whips out his badge and asks " you been drinking?" That was the end of it.

Dan is correct above- these regulations are set provincially, not federally, so be sure to check with your own province first.

In Saskatchewan, any person can hunt on posted "No Hunting" land, so long as they have "consent from the owner or occupant".

Just checking if the rule that all land is considered posted and you need permission to hunt all private land even if not posted is in effect in Sask

There was a D-bag on the OOD forums a while back bragging about bagging hos two wild turkey's on private land he didnt have permission to hunt. His claims that signs weren't posted so he helped himself. He aaid he always did it and worst case scenario he would get kicked off the land, in which case he would just move on to another property and repeat.
Could very well just be a troll, but how does this look on hunters? New hunters read this information and we're setting a terrible example. Or how about land owners who read this.. won't be easy getting permission if land owners assume all hunters are this greasy.
Growing up in northern Ontario I'd hunt so much land with my dad. It's funny, he'd always tell me it's crown land. When I was old enough to look into it myself on the crown land atlas, I discovered that most of our favourite spots were in fact private. Owned by mining companies and logging companies and everyone hunts them without a care, but still privately owned.

Like why I don't have a Beware Of Dogs sign on my property.

Beware, people could imply they are Dangerous.

Weather the land I wish to hunt has signs, or no signs, I always make a person to person attempt for permission. I never telephone the land owner, he may what to know your facial appearance, personality, some background, along with make and model of vehicle. I have received permission to hunt from most landowners who had their land posted, stating, no hunting or no trespassing.
I have the utmost respect for landowners, if they say no, then it's no, because it's "their" land.

If you’re getting your own signs made, include the relevant regulation. That’s what municipalities do to make prosecutions easier. Can’t claim ignorance or confusion about province to province differences, if you’re given the source document to refer to.

Example:

No Trespassing
Enforced under the Ontario Trespass to Property Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. T.21


Also, make sure you look at the spacing requirement in your province. For instance, in Ontario signs must be posted “so that a sign is clearly visible in daylight under normal conditions from the approach to each ordinary point of access to the premises to which it applies”

 

[Potashminer]

Signs, and what the province/state requires can vary. Is all saying that a landowner is "warning" about his right to control access onto his property. Some years ago on drive between Baton Rouge and Gonzales in Louisiana - I noticed along highway - on trees or on posts - the signs just said "Posted". Seemed pretty obvious to me what that landowner meant by that??

This is good advice.
