[QUOTE="fly2cast, post: 313353, member: 656"] Posted land is a real issue for me and I don't know if there are any good solutions other than more money. Continue the plots program but boost the money and open more land. I'm getting to the point that I no longer care about not making the landowner mad about hunting legislation. At this point, there is so much posted land I don't know how you can make it any worse. Some of you must have the best of talking skills because in my experience, most landowners will not let you hunt. This year I had my daughters (college age) make the calls to landowners thinking that the landowner would grant permission to two gals hunting for their does. Five out of five said no. And its not like we called a landowner with premium hunting spots that everybody wanted. They were average hunting spots at best. Not even sure if there were deer in those locations. And I'm not going to help the farmer pick rocks or fence to allow me to hunt. If you guys want to do that, be my guest. I don't have the time to do that. Never had to do that kind of crap years ago and the farmers were more than happy to have you shoot some of those pests off their land. One of the problems as I see it is that the more land that gets posted, the more likely the next landowner will post. What happens is that any tract of land that isn't posted get hit very hard by hunters, which pisses off the landowner so that the next year, he will post. Not sure how to stop that. The answer might actually be to really limit the amount of deer gun licenses, including gratis. Or lengthen the season by three or four weeks so that not everybody hunts at the same time. [/QUOTE]
