posted property

Excellent.

Don't take it as legal advice JC, I am long retired and I quoted the internet, not the actual legislation, but I would bet a big bottle of Aberlour that I am correct!

I laugh every time I have someone tell me the old wives tale. My first question is, " Who is the prosecution gonna call as witnesses"? Normally makes them quiet for a while.
So far, we can't be forced to testify against ourselves.

Trimmer mentioned a Province where this might be the case, be interesting to see how it works there.

The red dot (about 6 inches or so) on a white background is used around our area of Eastern Ontario and it’s the international symbol for no trespassing. That’s all that’s needed and covers no hunting as well but the landowner and all those he has given permission to can hunt no problem.

It’s a myth that land posted with the red dot signs can’t be hunted in Ontario by anyone.

When I bought my hunting property about 12 years ago, I was faced with the same problem how to post my land? I went the local MNR and asked the Conservation Officers was it true if I posted No Hunting Signs would it mean that I could not hunt on my own property.

The Conservation Officers referred me to the Area Supervisor who is in charge of all lands in the area where my property is located. He told me that if I post No Hunting Signs, I and anyone I want to let hunt on my property can do so, it is my property and I can do anything I want on it as long as the activity is legal no matter what signs I have posted.

He did recommend that I just use No Trespassing signs as they cover all bases in regards to unwanted people trying to use my property for any reason. By the way this is in Northern Ontario, not sure if it is different in other parts of Ontario.
