The Landowner Protection Act created important safeguards for rural property owners. It is helpful to be aware of these rules to protect your property and personal safety.
1. Posting of property can now be done with purple paint. Signs can be removed and vandalized. Paint generally cannot. Paint a vertical stripe at least 8 inches in length and 3-5 feet up from the base.
2. Wildlife officers can issue citations on site without going through the "process" rules related to trespassing laws.
3. Liability rules related to uninvited guests have been improved. However, we should still carry insurance.
During recent weeks I have been speaking with the manager of the "Poor Boys Hunting club." We will strengthen the back gate and increase access to owners. As we get closer to deer hunting season, we plan to erect a front gate with access to all owners and legal visitors. Please send in your ideas on these issues to Riverbend Owners.
