I can attest to the private land being posted. Being born and raised in the woods of central Florida everything down here that is private is posted. I was completely shocked when I started hunting pa back in the mid 2000s. Private property was basically open to the public for hunting with landowner encouragement to boot.
Slowly over time more and more land is being posted with the passing of the torch to the next generation. It's sad. Pa is turning into a pay to play state just like Florida.
Base camp leasing and the like are not helping
