try to keep my stuff safe from the knuckle heads...:-|
those things only keep out the honest hunters.
> those things only keep out the honest hunters.
Yep. Similar to a banned words list on a forum. 😉
well kinda-
I was thinking about posting additional signs that read-
"You are now entering a 2 Way range" or "Objects on the far side of the sign will return fire", but figured stick with the standard stuff.

Around here private property is considered open unless fenced, cultivated, or legally posted.
As far as I know, in Oregon, private property is open only if marked open.
How does Montana deal with it?

here is a link to the Mt code.
I have my land ( on the 2 sides I'm concerned about)marked by painting big ORANGE Bands/ Squares 16" tall at chest height on the bigger fir trees along the perimeter, no more than 50 feet apart. Where the trees are smaller, I've got 12" square pieces of plywood painted orange & screwed to the trees on about the same interval.
I didn't used to mark until some bozo came over the hill and killed a doe, firing in the direction of my house about 100 ft from my garage...

Some people have no respect or common sense. Here it only has to be posted every 1/4 mile

Reminds me of an incident when I was a kid in the 50's. Some city folks were hunting pheasants and fired in the direction of our farm house. They were close enough that pellets were landing in the yard. Dad got out the hunting rifle, probably a thirty ought six or a thirty forty kraig, and fired a few warning shots in their direction. Did not take long for those fellows to find another place to hunt.

Mr. File,
Your Posted signs should to upgraded to this:
WARNING
TRESSPASSERS WILL BE SHOT
SURVIVORS WILL BE
PROSECUTED
A while back you were talking about a pistol as a gift to Mrs. File what did you give her? With your new upgraded Posted signs you want to upgrade her pistol to a Kimber.
Trespassers are greeted by large amounts of noise (to alert any wildlife of potential hazards) in general and a huge amount of buttchewin' immediately followed by me punching in the phone number of my buddy, the sheriff who only lives about three miles away. Demands for several hundred dollars per gun and a rifle aimed at any hunting dogs nearby also are usually quite effective in convincing said idiots to get back to their vehicles and gone....NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my friend from Illinois thinks all hunters are redneck idiots because of his experiences with Chicago hunters (according to him) not knowing the difference between a cow, pig, dog, horses and deer. He said his Dad used to put orange blankets on his horses to try to keep the fools from shooting them. They would dismantle all deer stands (you generally don't see those in California) found within reasonable distance of their property. A lot of the neighbors allowed hunting for a fee and he said you couldn't leave your house during hunting season due to all the stray bullets flying around.
We have it a little better here because most hunting takes place on mountainous public lands so it doesn't seem to be so much of a free-for-all shoot at anything that moves.
Dave,
Kinda like this....???

Have a great week! 🙂
A few of my daily visitors...pic taken in mid-summer with the bucks still in velvet.
Red Green, good stuff. 🙂
We are working a project in Deer hunting country. We haven't seen much in the way of deer but have heard a lot of shooting. You hear 10 shots go off in rapid succession; makes you wonder, are they trying to fill it with 10lb.s of lead? Probably nothing living to shoot at so they are target shooting. Some old hippie looking guy had a big revolver strapped on his waist. We heard him shoot that a bunch of times (well didn't see it but it sounded like a pistol, not a rifle). We have seen only a few does (over three weeks) and some fawns, no bucks, one bear and not much else.
We had a winter storm which was nice because it shut down the hunters for a few days and this last week we didn't see any hunters even though the weather was nearly perfect for surveying. I assume they have given up on where we are (no deer to shoot). Oops, I take that back we saw one hunter on monday with a scoped rifle; he was riding a mountain bicycle (so he can access private timber lands which have gates but are otherwise open lands).
