People who have lived in the country usually have a live and let live attitude. If you know your neighbors, there is usually little problem with you hunting on your neighbors property or vice versa. These things are usually arranged in advance.

It is new property owners that create problems. They are often from urban areas, and want to treat the back 40 like their former back yard.

They have the legal right, but it creates tensions.

My advise: talk to your neighbors and work out reasonable arrangements. Allow hunters who ask and are polite.

My belief, and what I do on my properties is to not post no-trespassing signs. In my area they are more likely to create problems than to solve them.

By law in Ohio the property owner must sign and you must have it on your person to legally hunt, else it is poaching... not against the landowner, though it would still be trespass, but against the state because you didn’t follow the requirements.

Now...I wouldn’t be calling the DNR to my property by any means, but I would require a quidproquo of signatures with those around me who wanted to work my land and make sure the proper sigs and liability waivers were signed. Would also ask they let me know when they will be there so as not to get shot at.
