Reply to comment by robbins290 in Where do you hunt in Maine if you don't "know a guy?" by zoolilba
I grew up in Missouri and have lived in Maine for over a decade. I’ll never get over this.
Always find out who owns the land and get permission. If not don’t trespass.

Too many people feel entitled to other peoples land, the atv situation in casco is a mess because of it. (That may be a less than local Issue though given out of state users)

It’s not trespassing if it’s not posted. Just because Missouri has draconian trespassing laws doesn’t mean we need to project that culture on Maine.

Exactly, One of the things I love about Maine. I don't hunt, not that Im against it, just don't feel like butchering my kill as I have a weak stomach for such things. Though being able to wander the woods without worry is nice.

You can drop it off at a butcher. Thats what i do. Cones back in marked, vacuumed sealed packages. No mess or left overs. Its the way to go

I don’t follow — was Missouri different trespass-wise, and if so in which way? Laws are different?

In both NH and Maine you are able to use other people's land for recreational purposes including hunting unless posted not to trespass. In Tennessee (and I'm guessing Missouri as well) there's a good chance you'd be shot and it would be legal because you were trespassing. Hard to wrap your mind around wandering into other people's land coming from that.

Exactly. It just seems disrespectful to walk on to someone else’s land and use their resources without their permission.

Welcome to a free state.

Lol ok. I like Maine a lot more but respecting landowners and asking for permission to use their land makes a lot more sense. Plus you can’t even hunt on Sunday so I guess each state has their own benefit.
