Hmm I was initially on the side of “everyone should have free passage through forest”, but “anyone can shoot your animals unless you re-post hundreds of signs per year” doesn’t seem like the right balance to arrive at either.
- ekidd 2y agoThe exact current rules are here: https://vtfishandwildlife.com/learn-more/landowner-resources/private-land-and-public-access/what-posting-means https://vtfishandwildlife.com/learn-more/landowner-resources... Basically, you have two options: A 500 foot "safety zone" around your house, which is easy (though not automatic like Maine), or a full posting of a larger area. Full posting requires: 1. Post every 400 feet. 2. Update the date on the signs every year. 3. Register with the town office for $5. For people who own a lot of woods (in the hundreds of acres), this is deliberately obnoxious.
