Yes, the plots are only loosely intertwined, you’ll love it. LeGuin is one of my favorite authors.

You have no idea about the particulars of my land, the particulars of the land that it abuts, how many people in my community use it, how many people have knowledge of it, or anything really.

It is actually the law that this is perfectly legal. A landowner needs to post No Hunting signs at 100 yard intervals on all property boundaries to be properly posted as no hunting. In practice, most people know their neighbors and ask first. If the OP doesn’t know who put up the stand, I would recommend hanging a note with a cell number on it to start. Eventually, sure, take it down.

I understand and agree. I just wanted to clarify that my land may initially appear unposted from some directions, and also note that the law says it must be posted on all property lines in order to be properly posted, but that there could be circumstances in which the landowner strongly prefers to be asked first despite the land appearing to be unposted.

I post my land from all the boundaries that are easy to access via my vehicle. It’s just a hair over 50 acres. In the past, people have put up stands or cams in an area that is easily accessible via the neighbor’s property (that he doesn’t have posted) but is hard for me to access without my waders on. There are a few other stands in that area so they might think it’s okay. It’s not. The guys who have stands there are ones that know that I walk my two dogs there every day rain or shine and I don’t fancy being shot.

Yes. I’ve had to take a couple down in my day. I hang a sign first giving them a week. I know that isn’t long but they were dicks to come on my land without asking in the first place. I’ve also had to remove game cams. I don’t hang a sign for those.
