hell i just got through going thru this post . and being an older gentleman all i can say is . unless you own the land there ain't no such rule i ever heard of that states just because someone else is huntin that land you shouldn't or you should call anybody except the landowner and tell them you are going hunting . where do you guys come up with all this . when i was a coonhuntin hell granny hall would tell just about anybody to go ahead and hunt or fish her property . alot of times we'd meet other hunters down in them bottoms and we'd just wind up huntin together . i'm gettin older by the day but i know this much there ain't no such rule spoken or unspoken ya'll get over it .
LOL! I guess it is just a new thing with the new generation then... but every hog hunter I have met goes by that rule. I think it is just to avoid confusion and confrontation. I am with both sides on this... if the landowner has a problem it needs to be taken care of, PERIOD. I just know that we have a few plots of land that we hunt, and if we came accross someone on any of them, besides Big Chris LOL, we would deff ask what/why were they doing? and if they have permission? Now if they have permission that is another story... it's not like you can tell or ask them to leave. What happens if the other hunters hunting are rifle hunters and you have your dogs, or say add that senerio to the others about guys having permission but not notifying the landowner. Then one of them shoots one of your dogs. What then? I just think nowadays with how fast this is growing, and how many people are hunting hogs in so many diff ways, that it is just good practice to be as well informed as you possibly can. You know? It all really comes down to common courtesy I think.
