[QUOTE="KDM, post: 190630, member: 314"] No worries fly2cast and it's not a touchy subject for me. It's just kind of an unwritten rule among hunters. Good fishing spots change daily, but good hunting spots are precious gems and internet shout outs on areas tend to be unpopular. I think the same thing every time I read about ND in a national outdoor magazine. The few thousand acres recently leased for pay hunting in my hunting area drives that home better than any posted sign ever could. As far as the posted signs and tracking down a landowner, it's unfortunately the name of the game nowadays. I too fondly remember the days when posted signs were rare and respect was the norm. My family used to hunt everywhere within 10 miles of the house and never gave it a thought as to whose land we were on and it didn't matter one bit. For what it's worth, Farmers generally don't care if respectful folks do a little hunting on their property. Depending on individual circumstances, most landowners just want to know WHO is going to be on their land and WHAT they are doing. Which is why I mentioned that asking to hunt isn't any more difficult to do there, than in any other part of ND. When talking to landowners who post their land, I'm amazed at how few times they get asked by hunters for permission to hunt. Most hunters assume a posted sign means keep out, stay away, nobody bother to ask, when in reality it means the landowner just doesn't want a free for all on their property. Good Luck Again!! I hope you find a spot, you both get a tag, and you have a great time with your daughter chasing deer. [/QUOTE]
