Also in the Northeast and take advantage of this occasionally. I took a hunter safety course recently and they hammer it in that this model is changing as more and more land is bought by people moving to these areas from places that don't have this custom or land gets passed to generations that don't share this ideal or don't want to bother with people on their land (many times for good reasons). I personally love it and would probably never post my land, but I feel like it is one of those nice things that can be described as "just the way we did things back then" that won't last much longer.

People also post land because, while they may be fine with people walking, they may not be fine with people hunting and ripping up paths with ATVs and dirt bikes. (The latter group regularly rips down my neighbor's posted signs.)

  You can post against specific uses "No Hunting" but not "No Trespassing" A quote from my states website The landowner may maintain signs that: Prohibit hunting, fishing or trapping; Prohibit any combination of the three; or State all or any combination of the three are allowed by Permission Only. Once registered, Permission Only signs and standard Posted signs are essentially identical in meaning and enforcement. However, if you've decided to post, consider Permission Only signs when: Your primary goal is to know who is using your property; You welcome hunters, but have had issues with other users; You've made the decision to post, but want to show you support hunting and use hunting as a tool on your property; and You want to continue to allow other public access without written permission, such as hiking and cross country skiing.

    Yes. Around where I live (New England), it's fairly common to post land without a blanket "No Trespassing" with the intent to prohibit motorized vehicles, hunting, and trapping but not people simply walking on your property. It still happens though that as rural towns become more like exurbs though that new landowners post their properties to prohibit "traditional" uses that long-time residents had been doing all their lives.
