Message: <blockquote data-quote="Retired Educator" data-source="post: 154037" data-attributes="member: 3373">For the vast majority of hunters we do have education. Hunter ethics and landowner responsibility is a pretty big emphasis in Hunter Education. I have hunted a long time in ND, 50+ years. This issue has been around forever. There has to be a way to enforce our current laws without being so specific on "Legally posted." For me, I have rarely seen land posted that didn't have some indication of the landowners intent. A poster might be missing on one corner but i'll bet there not all gone. In that case, use some common sense. I never did enjoy an ass-chewing just so I could shoot a bird. If you do make an hones mistake, apologize, do what you can to make the landowner a little more comfortable that you are a good guy and just made a mistake. I'm guessing most of them  get pissed when you argue and blame him for the problem. Even if you're technically correct, swallow your pride and be pretty humble. Even if you're in the right the landowner has the right to ask you to leave.When possible, even if it's not posted, an attempt to contact the landowner can reap rewards. More than once when I've made contact for permission I've been directed to an area that the landowner thinks might be better.On the other side I've visited with several landowners that really don't care and would rather not be bothered when they are busy. Wonder how many of them have spoken up.</blockquote>
