[QUOTE="shorthairman, post: 231602, member: 6223"] In NE we have to gain permission whether land is posted or not, and road ditches are OFF LIMITS no matter what. Started hunting in the 80's and I think it has been that way ever since. I vaguely remember my dad mentioning something from time to time about land not being posted and hunting it, but he may have also had permission from the landowner. I have never know anything different, but I would think that it gives the good respectful hunter a upper hand. Some private land, and lakes for that matter, that I hunted and fished growing up got "shut down" because of disrespectful users (leaving trash, driving off trails, driving through fences, leaving gates open, etc.) I just go up and knock on the door and say my son and I would like to walk that fence line. Sometimes they say no, but often they say yes. If it produces birds I usually clean one and take it back as a thank you. And then they tell you of other places they have where they see birds and let you hunt that as well. Yes it is a hassle to track down a landowner to gain permission at times, but its not the end of the world. I would say most of you guys that hunt un-posted land, probably already know that landowner, and chances are pretty good that they would be willing to continue to let you hunt even if the law changes. Just my .02 By the way, we have very few game farms also. [/QUOTE]
