[QUOTE="deleted user, post: 346515, member: 1778"] The old rules were if there's a sign, stay the hell off; no sign, have at it. Hunters knew it and landowners knew it. When that became difficult to understand I'm not sure. I've said it before but there's been a big change in the hunter/landowner dynamic. Not so long ago, farmers would love to see waterfowlers keeping birds out of their fields, deer off their crops / hay, hunters were grateful for the opportunity and that went a long way towards mutual respect. The ND lockout thing is especially strange. A couple of the ranchers I know with signs on their land really don't give a damn, its their wives. They patrol their land and post on facebook about all the "city" folk they have to run off. Weird "us vs. them" mentality. It just paves the way for those who don't farm or ranch to stop caring about their issues. Anyway. I posted my land with a name and number on each sign, and if we had our deer you got the green light. 40 acres isn't enough to hold certain bucks around year after year anyway. Getting rid of the no net gain of public land in ND would go a long way imo. [/QUOTE]
