I have heard differing reports on "Posted" land. Some people say that if land is Posted for no hunting then it is posted for everyone, there is no exception for owners or friends of owners. Others have said that "Posted" is just for people you do not know. I am wondering which is right...I have always errored on the side of caution on this subject.

So what I am seeing is that most people would also check with their local municipal codes (by State or County) before proceeding.
That is what I was thinking, this all started from an office conversation on the matter.

The owner of the land retains all rights to the use of his land when he posts it. Posting means that others may not tresspass on his land without his permission. The owner may hunt or conduct any other legal activity on his land after he posts it just as he did prior to posting. The only persons exempt from the posting restrictions, other than the land owner, are the people to whom he has given permisssion to use his land. He may place any restrictions on their use that he wishes. For instance, he may allow someone to fish on his land but not to hunt. The person to whom he gives such restricted permission is bound by the agreement and may not use the argument that he had de facto permission to hunt just because he had permision to fish. It is wise, and in some places manditory, that the person to whom permission is given to be on a land owner's property to have written permission on his person whenever he is on said property. Just because someone knows the owner does not give him permission to tresspass on posted land until he has the permission of the land owner.
Note to countryg: Game Wardens are certified law enforcement officers with all of the authority of any other law enforcement officer. Depending upon the laws of your state, county, etc. a Game Warden can issue tresspassing citations and make arrests for violations of property laws.

Posted Land

Well you better find out what the law is in your state. Some of the trespass laws are stiff and give the owner the right to not only have you arrested, but to take away your hunting privileges and gun rights.
In Illinois you must have the owners permission. Period, posted land or not. That permission has to be written, with the owners signature.
Yes, there are exceptions. Any family member can hunt or trespass without written consent.

The tresspassing laws have changed at least in Wisconsin. For ALL privately owned land you need to get the owners permission to go on it whether it is posted or not. I don't think you specifically need written permission as only the owner can press charges for tresspassing and if he has given you permission then he would not press charges. Game wardens do not have authority to cite you for tresspassing, only a law enforcement officer can do that.

In CA., posted means just that ie., individuals that do not have ties with owner, have NO business bein' on the property. I've worked many a' cattle ranches and this was the "Golden Rule", set by the owner, "If ya' don't know them' ~ run em' off". Have heard of some instances where violators gave the ranch hands some s _ _ t, but thanks to technology ie., de' cell phone. Comes in handy when your main job is movin' cattle by horseback and not "packin' a .45!! Don't know if I helped ya' out, but just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in ;)...
Note: "Rule of thumb" ~ owners WRITTIN' permission...

If it is POSTED, that means that only people with permission from the landowner can hunt it. I would get a signed letter of permission. In addition, in Texas, if you see purple paint on the fences or trees around the boundary of the land, that also means no hunting.

Crimmy, I feel very strongly that Barack Obama is not the Antichrist. He fits NONE of the descriptions of him (that the AC will distain women and marriage/children; that he will worship a "god of fortresses," i.e. Satan; that he will be from Italy; etc.) Besides Crimmy, we are told VERY POINTEDLY by the Apostle Paul that NO ONE will be able to identify the AC until the "falling away" occurs -- see 2 Thes. 2:3-12. This "falling away" will occur FIRST and THEN the AC's identity will be revealed to the faithful; however, God will send a "strong delusion" upon unbelievers so they refuse to listen to believers' warnings. My opinion, which is based on MANY years of Eschatological study, is this: Barack Obama is a small fish in a VERY big pond. Once the destruction of Damascus, Syria occurs (Isaiah 17) and the Ezekiel 38/39 invasion occurs, his incompetence regarding foreign relations will be exposed -- he honestly thinks that all the US has to do is humble itself and hit the "reset button" in order to have these Middle Eastern nations like us and do what we say! No, don't look for the AC to be ANYTHING like Barack Obama. NOT THAT I THINK THE AC IS THIS PERSON -- but look for someone like Rahm Emanuel, who is in the background advising a leader and all the while serving his own self-interests.

Here in Virginia if you are caught tresspassing on posted land, you are not only arrested, but your property(guns, fishing equipment, your car or truck that brought you there etc) is all confiscated as well. In Surry county a few years ago a man had taken his camper and set it up on what he thought was posted land that he had written permission to be on, not only was he arrested, but his camper and truck were confiscated! He had written permission to hunt on posted land, his mistake was not paying attention to the boundaries and he had actually set up camp on someone elses property! A simple, innocent mistake resulted in him losing everything he had with him at the time of his arrest. If you get written permission to hunt on posted land, OBSERVE the property lines and stay within them!

Posted property is for everyone...unless you have a signed letter of permission from the land owner. At least in our state.

The land or property is closed to everyone whether posted or not, unless you have written permission to be on the land owners property, you are trespassing on private property.* It doesn't matter what time of year you are on it.* Anytime & every time you place your feet on another's property you are breaking the law without written permission to do so.*
