| Moved up here a year and a half ago and just met my neighbors. About the only thing I have to say is good people but don't piss it their Cheerios cuz it will turn into a fight that won't end. I have a feeling that there is a good old boys club going on but it should not be hard to fit in. |

Sorry, I was a little drunk writing the OP.
Well, I was in the military for the first year and was never home for the first year. When I got out, I was sent to 5 months of schooling out of state. So, now that I have had more time to do things around the property I have been concerned with the happenings on the property. I had people camping on the property last year and people driving 4 wheelers. Not that big of a deal because I was working all the time. I also found logs moved and a campfire this spring. So now that I have more time I want to do some hunting. Well, I mentioned to my land lady about the trespassers and wanting to hunt. She is cool with me hunting but not cool with the trespassers and asked me to post the property for her. She is worried about law suits and such and the way the law reads you have to have the property posted. Which has now brought the neighbor over asking why the property was posted. He stopped in and is a fisher man was talking up a storm. Talking about deer hunting his new rifle and other manly things. Seems to be a decent guy and such. Well he told me someone was pulling my memory cards out of my trail cams to look at the pictures and they were going to steal them. But, they figured they were his and did not take them. So there is a group of people who will take a strangers stuff but will leave a buddies. He did not seem like a fan of these guys who were looking at the pics. Now, I am not sure on how close I want to get with my neighbors. I hope this clears up some of the confusion. |

Make sure you check the laws regarding posting a property. If you post it "No Trespassing", then you're probably good, but if you use a "No Hunting" sign, I think that prohibits you from hunting, even on your own property... I may be way off base, so double check. |

My dad used glue with these signs a few years ago with his property and they held up fine. And with the glue you can't just peal them off. |

Posting must be done every 50ft on it's own stand. Not a tree, on a stake or a metal post. It wont count if it's posted on a tree. |

Posting must be done every 50ft on it's own stand. Not a tree, on a stake or a metal post. It wont count if it's posted on a tree. Title 17A, Section 402 outlines that landowners must post their land with signs no more than one-hundred feet apart, and the signs must identify the activity that is prohibited. Landowners may post their land in a manner reasonably likely to come to the attention of an intruder. If you plan to post your property, put the signs high enough out of the reach of the average person. You may also you a paint system. One vertical purple stripe at least one inch in width and at least 8 inches in length placed on trees, posts or stones between three and five feet off the ground means ?Access By Permission Only?. These stripes should be no more than 100 feet apart and the paint markings must be maintained so as to be conspicuous at all times. You may also verbally express to persons that they are not allowed on your property. A verbal notice or the presence of signs constitutes a warning not to trespass. If a hunter is convicted of trespass on posted property, he/she will loose the privilege to hunt for a period of one year and possibly forfeit their firearm to public auction. If you happen to confront persons on your property, you or the representative of the property has a right to see their hunting license to determine their name and address. If they refuse, it is a violation of state law. If you have roads that surround your property, you must post the road to make it clear that no one is permitted, such as a sign on a gate that states ?No Motorized Vehicles, Foot Traffic Only, or any other activity you wish to control. This is straight off maine gov web site. I am pretty sure I am good to go. |

I'm kind of fuzzy on the concept, not to mention legality, of you posting your landlords property for her. That's her business, not yours as a tenant. If I were you, I would obtain from her written permission to hunt on property, and leave the "trespasees" to her. Not your problem. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

If I were you, I would obtain from her written permission to hunt on property, and leave the "trespasees" to her. Not your problem. I'm not a lawyer, but am pretty well versed in Landlord/Tenant law. If the landlord doesn't live on site and speedboy is the sole tenant of the property, then he may have more rights than the landlord. This is true as far as police complaints, etc, but may not apply to the outside property itself. A lot of it probably depends on how the premises is defined in the lease (if there is one). But regardless, I would definitely get written permission to CYA. |

In the state of Maine, if you allow people to use your land for recreational purposes you CAN NOT be held liable for injuries unless you maliciously try to harm someone( ie, stringing up an unmarked cable across a trail,etc.) . Its called the landowner liability act and it was passed to keep people from posting their land and to protect access to the large tracts of land held by paper companies that allowed recreational use. . It sounds like you have a problem with a specific group of people. I would try to hash it out with them(may be some teenage kids or something) and see if it stops before posting the property. Keep in mind that posting property in Maine is frowned upon heavily by the locals. While I understand why it may sound like a feasible solution especially if there is damage to the property, sometimes communication can go along way. Whatever you do, don't piss of any local fishermen. Those guys don't fuck around.

He would go to bars, get drunk, and challenge people to fight him. He'd ask them to go sit in the backseat of his friend's car, where the other guy's legs wouldn't give them any advantage, where he'd beat the crap out of anyone stupid enough to take him up on the challenge. |
