It is sad because who wants to see Vermont become a NO TRESPASSING type of state. Who wants cellular cameras watching them when taking a walk in the woods? And the reasons - social change, lack of courtesy, incomers without knowledge of traditions, but also old-timers who feel they have inherited rights, or perhaps there is just a general degradation of human decency? On my rural street not a single property is posted including many farms with hundreds of acres. A neighbor recently got on gamecam another (fairly new) neighbor cutting a christmas tree on his land. Solved by polite request not to do it again without asking. I'm pretty certain if somebody posted the neighbors would all ask "why did you post?" so it's not the norm where I am.
