Spring Scouting the Benefits of Snow
Had a chance to get out today and do some scouting. Ran into some no hunting signs, seems the public land around here is being gobbled up by conservationists that do not like hunters. I wonder if there is a way to be friends?

Good luck with that one. I've found one way to approach these landowners is to knock and let them know you saw the signs and hunt near their borders, and was wondering if you did shoot a deer that ran onto their property if it would be OK to track it. Most times they'll tell you to get lost. Every now and then it's a hunter who's tired of poachers sneaking across the line, and will respect you for asking and perhaps you'll make a friend and gain some private land to hunt.

Thanks for the perspective Slowbow. It is hard not to get angry in the little pocket I live in. Most of the state is fairly hunter friendly. Kindness and Respect have to be what's given if it is to be returned. I will email the post and inquire as you said. My experience thus far has been much the same unfortunately.

Yes, living in Animal Rights Central here, I deal with this all the time. The worst part of it is that the same folks who wont give you access to hunt their land are the same ones pressuring DNR to do something about the deer. We wind up with unlimited bags on antlerless deer for archers, and 10 antlerless for Black Powder and Firearms seasons, and they all come off public land and out of the more rural areas where hunting is accepted.
This destroys the herd where it is hunted, and does ZILCH NADA and NOTHING to help lower the populations where the people are complaining about them, and the only population control happening there is the grill on those folks BMW and Mercedes.

Agreed Slowbow. The only difference is deer densities for us outside of the suburbs are VERY low. They have the same problems in town. NH statement is 'Live Free or Die', but animal rights are alive and well in the cities and educational centers and the state to our left.
