Are hunters really that un educated ?

[Gun Nut]

So I had a client call me about hunting upland birds, said he went with an outfitter last year and the outfitter told him if the property isn't marked with no trespassing signs than you can go in and hunt it whenever you want . I had to laugh. I have been in the hunting industry a lot of years and as far as I am concerned if it is private land marked or not you are considered to be trespassing and will be charged if caught , am I wrong ?

Reading through a number of comments, I was left scratching my head when I came across the word 'popplers', being someone who farms and plants trees, I had to conclude there's a real shortage of dictionaries out there, and spell check must be switched off on a number of computers. Correct spelling of the tree specie referred to is 'poplar.'

As for trespassing, if you intend to hunt a piece of land, your first obligation is to determine if it is private or public. There is not requirement that the land be posted, if it is that should save you a bit of research in determining the statue of the property. Some clues that the property might be private are: lane ways, cultivated fields, fences, buildings,the presence of crops, livestock or farm machinery. There are fines for:
trespass for the purpose of hunting, trespass in possession of firearm, trespass in possession of other fishing or hunting devices, hunting while trespassing, failure to leave premises when trespassing, interfering with notices, unlawfully entering crops, unlawfully permitting a dog to enter crops, and here 's one you better watch out for, unlawfully trespassing on Crown land. These are all offences under the FWCA, 1997. If you wish to hunt on private property get permission, and get it in writing.

You don't stop hunting because you get old. You get old because you stop hunting.

Checking to see how you could possibly be charged for trespassing on Crown land I came across this from the Ontario Land Association, it counter what I though about private land not having to be posted.

Landowners are encouraged to put up “No Trespassing Signs” and Landowners signs as a secure means of protecting your property from any type of inspection, mapping or photography whether it be by air, water or land.
Entry on to Private Property
In general, terms anyone may enter onto private property to do anything, which is lawful without occupier permission unless the entrant has been given notice that entry is prohibited. Therefore, a private owned bush lot is available to the public until the occupier notifies otherwise. The occupier has a number of options when it comes to letting people know that entry is prohibited or that activities are restricted.

Come on guys why pick on his spelling mistakes. I'm more concern when he is responding to and correcting his own post. Two side of the same coin eh?

Thanks, I have a bad habit of dropping 'ed's' and 's' spell check helps most times with spelling, but my fall back is a dictionary. Another problem I have is using the wrong word for the word I mean. Unfortunately the computer's grammar check is not as great as it might be.

The quote is: What is gravy for the goose is gravy for the gander.

None the less, words have value, accurate communication require making the effort to use them as correctly as possible. It makes for less head scratching.

That is all fine and dandy for the book of the month club. Here though as sportspeople we are more concerned with the message at hand not so much with the format for which it is presented. If something is written in a manor for which it is written that is confusing for you please ask for clarification before spouting off on some tangent. None of us seem particularly concerned however your knit picking is a little tedious.

Are you sure it's not "Sauce for the goose" from the original quote?

Two weeks before the season and we are focussed on grammar and spelling?
