Message: <blockquote data-quote="Migrator Man" data-source="post: 248202" data-attributes="member: 2369">If you use on x maps and hunt out west where you don’t always have cell service you know that when you don’t have service in a certain location you cannot load the online maps and have to rely on the offline maps you downloaded. If you didn’t load the offline maps the day before you hunt you could have outdated maps where permission may have changed. A hunter can be proactive by scouting before going out using the online maps and then only go to those places the next day. Not all of us hunters hunt like that or should have to. What it boils down to is confusion to some that will undoubtedly lead to landowner conflicts whether the hunters meant to break the law or not because of an outdated map. This isn’t an issue in MT or WY because land use is set before the season and isn’t changed mid season.To use the excuse that people didn’t see the sign and hunted on posted land is not valid. People will still hunt on posted land regardless of a posted sign or on the app. They can still claim ignorance even with the app. When a landowner catches someone on their land and it’s posted with even one sign the person can be charged with criminal trespass or hunting on posted land. At the end of the day the landowner will still need to catch the trespasser and will need to call a game warden or sheriff to get them brought to justice. They will need to photograph the culprits before they get away if the LEO don’t arrive before they leave. I want to know the statistics of slobs getting off because there was not enough posted signs or that some were weathered. This is why we need to invest in enforcement. I know ethical hunters like myself don’t hunt posted land even if we only see one weathered sign. We know that even if it’s not legally posted were can still be charged with trespassing. This app does nothing to stop unethical people from trespassing and to claim it will is a falsehood</blockquote>
