It is the landowners right to post their property private/no tresspassing at thier discretion after all if they have purchased it and paying all of the taxes and or a lease it is thiers wether or not they elect to let people waltz on through is up to them. What needs to be eliminated are all of the frivilious law suits involving property owners held financially liable for someones injuries while fishing or hunting on their land. Look at what happened by Allentown that propery owner was found liable for 10% of monetary damages of that girl that got hit by a stray bullet 1/2 mile away, only because he told the hunter that he could hunt there. The lawsuit was for 1million, you do the math. I have a modest amount of ground and it is all posted, I don't need to worry about someone looking for the big score on my dime. Take a look at this scenario and look at it from their point of veiw what would happen if a group of people were fishing on a creek bank privately owned and the bank collapses someone falls in and drowns, guess what they, most likey, wont own anything after that because some lawyer will find a way to constitute negligence on the landowners part and it will be worth millions of dollars to that individuals family. Even though it was consented by the landowner that the individual could fish there but he was responsible for himself. The legal system is ruining it for all of us-
