If you post your land No Hunting can YOU still hunt it? A neighbor told us you can't but I say its your land you can do what you want. We had a trail cam stolen and want to post signs.

Certainly you can hunt on your own property. Others can as well when you of course have given them permission. The posting is to keep others of—NOT you or any others who you give permission too.
You can also mark your boundaries with purple paint in lieu of placing numerous signs.
Recognized in most states as off limits to hunting and trespassing.

We had a problem with poachers and trespassers on our property in Eastern Texas. It was so bad I heard someone talking about the excellent hunting on "so and so road" (Our land!) and how to get to it.
We asked the local authorities what we could do and they said that we could put "No Hunting and No Trespassing" signs every 50 yards within sight of any public access and have the right to prosecute. It worked for a while, but we still had to call law enforcement a few times. I handled it myself a couple of times and have new respect for game wardens. Everyone they meet has a gun! After a couple of "close calls" we let the professionals handle our problems.
Oh...I forgot the question. If you own the land, you can hunt it regardless of the signs. So, if someone leased the land and put up the signs(This happened to us) they cannot keep the landowner from hunting.
Invited guests must present the officer with written permission from the land owner, or receive a citation.

Yes, most of the signs say No Hunting or Tresspassing without permission. So you can still hunt on your land and anyone you give permission to hunt on your land can. Remember even if you don't post your land with signs it is still illegal to tresspass on private property. The problem is you have to call the police (game wardens to not have authority to deal with tresspassers) and they have to catch the person on your property or you have to show them pictures of the person on your property in order for them to be able to charge them with anything. It is a good idea to use a chain and a lock to lock your trail cameras to the tree you put them on. I am also from Wisconsin, caught the neighbor's grand kid riding his motor bike in my back yard with my trail camera. It was rather embarassing for my neighbor to see the picture of his grandson tresspassing like that.

I have people on my land all the time even though I have it posted (no hunting signs). You can of course hunt your land or invite anyone else you want to do the same. I have found it best to have the conservation officers phone number right in my cell and call him as soon as I see someone on my land. In Minnesota you dont even have to have your land posted for someone to be tresspassing. You should check with your local sherrif or conservation officer for details in your area. Wouldnt it be nice if people could just respect your property!!

OF COURSE you may hunt on your own property.... Your neighbor doesn't know what he/she is talking about.The Posting is for the benefit of advising all others to warn them not to hunt or trespass.not you or whomever you allow to hunt on YOUR property....
I too have lost more than one Trail-Cam to thieves and poachers..You might want to look into some inexpensive new technology that is available..For about an additional $60 you can install a "TrackerChip" in your Trail-Cam that will allow you to trace your camera on a standard GPS Satellite Hand held unit, and that will tell you where it is and or where it's being taken to. This worked both times for me, and not only made me able to recover my trail cameras, but when the Police responded to the location where my camera was..They found a garage full of stolen portable tree stands, and over 900 lbs of Venison that was illegally "poached", in an open garage and made 2 arrests.....$120 well spent.....

Well, I don't know the laws in your state but I imagine thay are not significantly differeent from those in my state. Posting your property makes it liiegal for ANYONE ELSE to trespass on your property. It places no additional limitations on the landowner's use of his property. If you post NO HUNTING signs then persons other than the landowner MUST have his/her permission to hunt it. If they hunt the land without the permission of the land owner, they are liable for arrest for tresspassing and theft of any game animals which they have killed.

Sure you can hunt your own land. Those signs only pertain to the person or persons poaching on you. This gives you the right to lock up anyone that you have not given permission to.

I have a trailer park (not a very nice one) that backs up to my farm. By law, I had to post signs on the corners and every 500 feet (GA), and i still had problems with trepassing. Problems stopped after I stated walking out on my property in my underwear with my AR 15 and several 30 round clips. I would stand out in that field behind the trailer park in my "tidy whities" , laughing manaicly, riping off rounds into the air. The tralier dwellers would actually gather at the fence to watch me, but NOBODY dares come on to the "crazy guy's" property anymore!
