If some kids spray paint public land and it keeps the ignorant away, isn't that a good thing?

Until you go and hunt it thinking some kids spray painted it, only to get in trouble for trespassing due to the state swapping the land with a logging company the week before the season started.

That could happen just as easily withour paint.

I agree to an extent with knowing were you are at all times. I think a little help from landowner marking there land if they don't want people on there land would be good too. It would take away alot of guessing and confrontations. Signs and spraypaint are not hard. Plus it would mostly be done by a Ranch/farm hand or a kid.
On the other hand I've seen land owners run people off public land claiming it's theirs so there will be some posted public land.  The farmers/ranchers will have to look at real property lines not what grandpa told them they owned when they were kids. That will be a problem for some.

I understand that Bob but "unimproved and apparently unused land" leaves to much room for speculation or opinion. It leaves the trespasser easily claiming ignorance to get out of what he knows is a trespassing violation, and puts the responsibility on the land owner rather than the public doing their own research.

Look at all the grass land throughout the country that appears to be "unused" most of the year yet is harvested every 6-9 months, too easy to say "it looked unused to me"

A bad revision IMO.

that isn't part of the revision. That's how the law reads now.

When i hunted Arkansas they used purple paint. I thought it worked well and helped provide a boundary without a fence.

but bank of america owns a ton of land now so they will just mark up all they want now
