Would just be there to let people know where they can and cant go. I am the guy who sent you that photo of a no trespassing sign on my property with a BPA easement. Took me about ten years to finally get the point across to people that BPA lines run across private land. Spent a lot of time sitting at access points on opening days and talking with people. Of course it helped being in a Sheriff's Office patrol vehicle from where I was employed for 31 years. :chuckle:

So do you still have the vehicle? That would help! :chuckle:

That's how you fix the problem Rainer10! You're gonna have to watch the government auctions and buy the next game wardens pickup that comes through and during hunting season park it in random spots along your property and the DNR ground. Your gonna have to hire someone to move it regularly though but atleast you can deter the criminals until one of them steals the entire truck!

You know they would actually arrest me for impersonating an officer right? :chuckle: That’s how it works, the good guy gets arrested for trying to stop the bad guys. :bash:

I can’t tell you how many sheds I found there in the past, before shed hunting became a money sport. I think people get in their head their own entitlement of “ownership” of a spot. I went a canyon or two over last year on a fluke and was shocked at the amount of private property and loss of access. I just turned around and came home. Others, not so much……

I have been shedding hunting deep into a spot and encountered a new rope fence with signs. I opened onX and there’s no private property listed. Still just timber company. But I was out of cell service and the maps I was looking at were a couple years old that I downloaded. Accidents happen. Then there’s the intentional trespassing described above.
If I shot an animal legally on public land and it ran onto private land and died. I know what I would do. I would take My chances. Right or wrong I feel morally obligated to not waste wild game.

So......
You wouldn't try to obtain permission first.
What if your animal went through multiple properties.
How many trespass charges are worth a deer.
What if there is multiple hunting blinds on the private property.
Is it even worth the time to ask for permission,they would probably just deny permission ,lie,and keep your deer.
Not sure the juice is worth the squeeze.
I guess all I'm saying is ,a lot different hunting situation.
A lot of different folks out there that might do things differently.
A lot might do it the same....who knows.
I know a few property owners ,if you ask they'll help you find it.
If there home,you didn't ask you'll get nothing.They catch you in there backyard it's not gonna turn out well.
