IS YOUR LAND POSTED 7
Now that tho hunting season is hore,
let ’s give serious consideration to two
facts. First, so long as land is not
posted, the gnmo belongs to nnyone who
will come nnd got it. Second, game
birds and animals are rapidly disap
pearing and many of them will become
extinct if farm owners do not take more
interest in their protection nnd preser
vation.
Tho gamo on privately ownod land
is tho property of tho landowhor and
protected by State and Federal law pro
vided ho Bimply asserts his ownership
To post onr farms all we have to do is
to placo in conspicuous places signs that
hunting is not allowod. This applies to
firstling, bIbo. Especially large, big type
signB may be had of your local print
ing shop at slight cost.
There are other reasons for having
luud posted besides the protection of
game. Many so-called hunters :ya not
only careless of the rights of others,
bat arc awkward in the use of fire
arms and liable to injure stock or even
persons.
When protected, game may become
r profitable crop for home use, and of
‘en is when protection has lasted sov
ernl years. Some farmers sell hunting
privileges by tho day, by tho season, or
'or a term of years. Certainly ws
•hould not let our gnme be. killed and
)ur fields trodden down by strangers
without some sort of reward.—The Pro
;rcssivo Farmer.
Editor Free Press: Tho nbovo clip
ping appeared in tho issue of your pa
per last week, Thursday 29th, 1923,
The article is copied from Tho Pro
greBsivo Fnrmor nnd of course you are
not to blame for tho damngo its publi
cation is liable to do before the error
nu get straightened out.
So far back ns we linve nny history,
birds, rabbits, p’possoms, minks, squir
rels, deer, skunks, bear nnd all wild
ife has been tho property of tho owner
of thq land nnd no ono has ever had
a right to go on tho land of another and
kill it, or them, without tho consent of
tho owner. It was called “common
law” up to 1911-12. Amended 1916
and 1919. Since that time it has been
statutory law. Tho statute roads:
Section 7. No person shnll hunt or
fish upon the lands of another with or
without license without first having ob
tained permission from such land own
er.” Any one doing so is declared to
bo guilty of n misdemeanor. Tho pun
ishment for hunting without liconBO or
with license and without tho land own-
er’s permission is a fino of from $10
to $1000, or in tho gang not less than
ton nor over 90 days^lAboth .
Section 10 of the X*t makes it the
duty of Judges of Superior Courts to
“especially mention in their charges to
the respective grand juries the provis
ions of this act.”
Tho common law nover gave any ono
the right to hunt on another’s land, if
not posted. Tho statutory law don’t.
The clipping Bays: “So long as land
is n'ot posted, tho gamo belongs to'fiijf
ono who will come and get it.”
Tho Court of Appeals in a case of
Qlassingamo vs. State, from tho City
Court of Madison county says. “This
court holds that no kind or character
of game, whether designated by the
Act or not, can bo hunted without com
plying with tho requirements as to li
cense, and without first obtaining the
permission of the l.and owner.”
Could anything bo plainer $ “The
Progressive Fnrmor” must havo been
asleep, or was needing a job. Ho says
in reference to tho notices: 1 ’Especi
ally large, big-typo signs may be had
of your local printing shop at .slight
cost ”11
Several years ago I understand the
law required “Notices.” It don’t
now. Don’t spend any money for “big
typo signs.” The law does roc,uiro a
license and yoUr consent before ho can
hunt legally oij your land for any
thing.
• The Judge in Carroll who is supposed
to try folks who violate the gamo law
won’t issue a warrant for a violator
unless the land owner prosecutes.
If you save your property you will
have to act and act quickly.
“Little” crimes ignored leads on to
murder.
Ono good citizen of Carroll patrols
his premises with gun to protect his
property. He has a right to do so.
One cow lias already boon killed.
Go tc^a justice of the peace, take
out papers and bind over to tho grand
jury and see wli'at they will do.
You don’t have to post your land.
