TRESPASSING QUESTION

[NikeBauer21]

Then you need to to discuss this with your fellow WCO,s. I sat at a meeting at the Midland Sportsman's Club and the late Doug Carney stated that this was the case. You guys need to get your sh*t together and quit confusing us.

The PGC not confuse us?? That'll be the day!

remember archers are allowed to be armed and PA has no castle doctrine or land doctrine. It would be really hard to prove that you weren't a serious threat when you approach a hunter with a weapon out or in a physically threatening manner.

You mean when they order you to stop your illegal activity and threaten to call the police to have you escorted off property legally theirs (and posted) and you murder them to cover up your crime(s) rather than go to jail?

Or when a landowner is hunting their own property also and you murder them over a game animal? Good thing you already stated your intentions on the Internet before you went hunting this year...

"Here's a digital picture with date and timestamp of the poacher and trespasser, officer. Its a good thing I had my cell phone w/ camera to take pictures of any animal I legally killed on my own property, isn't it deputy?

And here are game/trail camera pics of him earlier..."

haha around here that involves knowing who the property owner IS and where they live to go ask them. 3/4 of the posted signs around are either decades old with no name on them or they have the name of whatever company bought the land and is waiting to sell it.

In a lot of cases the people you "think" own the property don't, or they don't live here full time, or they don't live here at all and are only waiting for it to get more valuable to sell...

Eastern PA is nothing like central or northern PA.

what about people who post what they do not own,toget a private hunting spotwe have some around here,is it illeagle? .

Which is exactly what you should do. Most people prefer to take the "get off my land or get shot" approach which can result in bad things happening... based on your original response you sounded like one of those people, sorry if I was mistaken

You were lied to, it was clearly stated on the website but with the new layout I have no idea where it is

If it is clearly stated on the web site they did a good job of clearly hiding it. WCO Carney always seemed like an honourable man so I think saying he was lying is a bit harsh. If what the WCO from Washington county stated is in fact the policy then maybe Doug was willing to go the extra mile to ensure that game ended up in the hands of the rightful owner.

I seem to remember the original question was raised over concerns hunters had over hunting in suburban areas which the game commission was/is pushing big time in this area to reduce the deer herd in populated areas.

I've seen that too, I don't know if it would be considered illegal, maybe littering? I don't know where you would even find a statute for that... Dreadly, be nice... lol
