This happened to someone I knew, not with a Hunter but with a person looking to buy the land.

You can, depending on your state's law, actually incur GREATER liability by posting your land.

Vermont's State Motto is "Live Free or Die".

Liability depends on your state. Oklahoma passed a law that prohibits a person from suing for injuries sustained during a large number of activities (including hunting, fishing bird watching, sightseeing, hiking etc..)....The state law also includes the passage that the law is in effect regardless of whether or not the person had permission to be on the land. It was an attempt to improve access from landowners who were only restricting access for fear of being sued.
As to the OP- I see nothing wrong with the fellow asking permission to hunt and actually I applaud him for asking rather than just "hunting the fence" between the two properties....

Choke .... splutter....gag
NEW HAMPSHIRE's state motto is Live Free or Die.
Vermont's is something like, "Mind the Birkenstocks."
Anyhoo... the Free State project is a nationwide movement of libertarians, whose stated intent was to find a state they could all move to, and turn into a libertarian paradise. They had like a year-long debate about which state it should be. And eventually chose New Hampshire.

We have the same situation as alot of the others here. We post the property but we hunt here, the neighbors hunt here, and we hunt on neighboring property. The signs are to keep out the flatlanders not the locals. We just keep track of who is here.

Ok,lets put it this way,no I'm not peeved about not being invited to the party.I have all the party I need,right here on my place.
I already mentioned no other land around here is posted,and most land owners have lived here most if not all their life.Its understood that if we want , we can hunt any of the land around here no matter who owns it.
Ok,a farm comes up for sale,and a newcomer buys that farm and posts it.Its theirs,they can do whatever they want with the land.
Are most of you folks telling me you wouldn't feel the least bit unwelcome should you decide to go on that land, and feel the "NO TRESSPASSING" is not speaking to you.If so, WHO DO you think it is speaking to?
Like I said,Its not that I want to hunt that land,I don't,its just the principal of the thing,the 25 acres only has a half acre of woods on it anyway,not enough to bother with to even hunt.
Lol,thats why their son wants to hunt other folks land,but until their signs come down,permission around here,will be kinda scarce and hard to find.Around here,a posted sign,needs to be printed on both sides,if you decide to put one up.lol eb

So just because someone is new, they don't have the right to post their property and keep people from tresspassing on it?

I don't think that is what is being said, in most parts there is either standing agreement of understanding among the long term folks, long time neighbors who talk to each other, I'm sure most folks of the decent sort would check with new neighbors about use of their land, new neighbors in areas like that don't go unnoticed after all, and it would be presumptuous to assume that such a understanding would hold to them. but posting like that is well viewed as a unneighborly thing for lack of a better term.
do you really think signs keep someone out,if anything its more a invitation then anything.
theres a old saying "locks are for honest people" decent people don't need signs to tell them where their not suppose to be.
it was said in the other thread if you really want to keep folks out get a fence gets the message across with out being over the top (even just wire)
though a trespasser will trespass regardless of what you do some people just don't have respect.

what if
my land is posted for many reasons ,mainly because there is neighbors that kill a deer and just take the tenderloins,they brag about it and want to kill all the deer but will give you a mess........
now my son and i have people call us and ask us to hunt their land,,they want responsible hunters that will not abuse them,their land or the wildlife.
so as long as you are legal,than you worry about something else.
i have seen guys that belonged to a well posted hunting club and then still fussed because a landowner posted his. go figure.
actually their is a differance between a poacher and a tresspasser....

In PA the game commission will give you signs to post if you allow hunting.
What we have posted is:
"Respect the land owner, ask before hunting"
Goose was in season and we had 3 hunters that asked if they could set up blinds and hunt at our pond.
They just came to the house the other day bearing goodies.
Goose Bologna, homemade chocolate and a bottle of homemade brandy 
Everything was delicious!!
What a nice exchange for being neighborly.
We have never has a problem with anyone coming on our property with out asking first.
We have people ask to fish also.

May I? Absolutely,they do have that right,its theirs,no problem.The thing is that,around here at least,the folks that have lived here all their life,see it as not being very neighborly,like this is mine,stay away and don't even think about coming on it.In other words it ain't a welcome mat.lol,eb

Of course they have that right.
Just like the locals have the right to think what they want about them for exercising their right to post thier land.

Read what I posted very slowly and you'll find that I never said whatever it is that you assumed I said.
Let me rephrase what I said. Don't automatically expect to be cheerfully welcomed by your new neighbors if the first thing you do when you move into an area is post your land with numerous "No Trespassing" signs.
