Reply #8: The reasons the land is being posted

[Superfly]

is not only because people want to disallow hunting, but others are starting to realize that you can close off your acreage, charge $200/day to hunt, and some fat cat is going to pay it.

I've found that, even on posted land, if you are polite and courteous, leave your gun at the fence, and ask politely to hunt somebody's land, often times they will allow it.

I asked one old man up in Eastern Washington if I could hunt his farm, and he took me into his house, gave me a cup of coffee, and sent me on his way with his German shorthair (he couldn't get out to walk the dog as much anymore).
