Hancock/Manulife........No Trespassing signs everywhere! What's the deal.

[hunter399]

While we were moose hunting it was very random what was posted not trespassing “leased”, just no trespassing, and one walk in only that
Actually had a new sign that said it was still open for walk in. Not to mention most roads we accessed through DNR,blm had nothing on their end but no trespassing when you got out the other side to the main road. Game warden we saw didn’t have a clue either, he said just don’t park at the gates with signs

I thinks I know where your talking about .
Ya ,those went up recently,that was one of the areas dropped from the road closed agreement.
Believe it's leased now,but who knows.
Last year ,you could hunt that all you want ,now screwed.

What's the current status of the Manulife Hancock land near Republic and Curlew?

What's the current status of the Manulife Hancock land near Republic and Curlew?

Not sure ,that's the problem. Not sure what's leased and what's available for public access . They own a lot of land, probably starting south. Probably take several years before it's all leased,some north units may be last,just a Guess.

With all that said,
I get it as a business stand point . To make money on the land as you wait for trees to grow. It will direct alot of pressure on public lands. If you hunt true public,state , federal,your not seeing a lot of game,and a lot of hunters. That's gonna get a lot worse.
