How much of the land around you is posted "No Trespassing"

Just curious. Seems everywhere I go to check out a new spot or woods, the property is posted "No Trespassing". I remember growing up as a kid and being able to go just about anywhere. Now I can't even take a walk through the woods unless it's a park. Just get's frustrating............. Yes, I'm venting

A lot!! I live in Berks County PA. and see more going up everyday. I think a lot of it has to do with a lack of respect for other peoples property (damage, dumping and unauthorized hunting). So I don't blame property owners for doing this but it has really ruined it for the rest of us.

All of it. Mine included.
Illegal dumping by illegal people is why I did it. I recently discovered a small mountain of trash being deposited beside my creek by a pickup filled with people of known but unnamed origin. I confronted them with a shotgun and they cleaned it up and departed. No Trespassing/dumping signs went up the next day. Shame really.
I also had some illegal hunting happening.

None that I'm aware of, except any possible military facilities; though the closest is quite a bit away.

Allot of Land is Posted No Trespassing in the Tri-State area , where NY,NJ,Pa connect or upper Delaware region, Not Only is it posted but old colonial roads have Gates , and other devices to prevent people from Trespassing , Having Said this there is also quite a few places , that are uninhabited , for example a home may be located a mile away and it is not Posted , so ... The main places to avoid a historical protected areas , National park , and Game land .
Uses Google earth in your area , take a drive and check it out .

All of it, so I stick to clad in parks and schools. You still get chased off those too. Gonna try for permission for a few of the farms that surround the area I live this spring...

I pretty much thought that was the case. Don't get me wrong, I agree with 99% of the property owners reasoning to post. I guess growing up in an era when people had more respect for other peoples property just makes me look at things different. Heck, when we were little punks drinking some beers in the woods we would take the bottles & cans with us and not leave them lying there Not the case anymore, to bad.

So did we. We even brought a trash bag. I went back to that spot after realizing the the "sidewalk" in the woods was actually a mill site from the 1700's. That was 20 years later. It looked like a dump. There was even people's trash bags that they threw there instead of using the twice a week municiple pickup. I found nothing but trash and cans. The sidewalk was a foundation from a bottle factory buily near the mill that made tiny medicine bottles that I had found in the creek bed when I was young. Couldn't find any of those either...

I know folks will disagree....but those signs to me mean- no gun hunting...........not no metal detecting.......try as you might to get permission but after a while you know life's too short ......just my opinion .......aloha johny mc...

All trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again.

Re: How much of the land around you is posted "No Trespassing"

Pretty much everything is private property around here. Railroads, companies, private landowners, government, commissions......its a shame too. Lots of old places sit empty, old foundations peeking out of the ground.....

Don't ask me how I saw em either.

Better shoot me a third time...just for good measure...
