Its sounds like a fair idea. I mean trying to keep trespassers out of any property is hard enough, so an extra little bit of help cant hurt.
But I can also see that some hunters might abuse them. If they really work and people do listen to the sign, then hunters could post up hundreds of these little signs in different areas to completly block out any other hunters. I agree with 60256, if they are going to trespass, nothing will stop them.

I can see a possible use for these signs in overcrowded public hunting areas out east to alert people that they are not alone in an area maybe but not in Colorado. For one thing, if you are hunting just about any big game in the mountains you need to cover a fair amount of territory and trying to post 5,000 acres a day is just plain ludicrous. Second, I try to be conscious of other hunters all of the time when I am in the woods, I don’t want to blow a setup a guy has been working on all season but this is public land and the idea of marking “your” territory on “public” land seems a little cross to the intended purposes.

They can post it on the back of the tree they are calling from.

People would abuse them and leave them out when their not there. Where would put them that other hunters could see them and the animals would not? If I was on public land I would not pay that much attion to them.

I like the idea. Unfortunately, around here, they would either get stolen or shot at. But it's a great idea and I know I would definately vacate the area. I'm curious how big are they and what are they made of (would they hold scent and alert the deer of your presence)?

Actually, I should be alert to others whether or not any signs are there.

Another clever way for the manufacturer to make a buck. I won't be buying any.

I like the idea. If you have multiple hunters hunting the same plot it'll be a way to tell each other who is where.

I personally do not have any use for them but I can see how it would be helpful to some.

Sure it would let people know you are around, but is that always a good thing?

I think I'll pass.

I think it might work if you hunt in an area with honest hunters. It has a good concept to it, but I don't know if they would work. You might just end up out of 10 dollars. I wont be buying any.

I think these signs would be great during turkey season, it gives others an idea at your location and deters them from chasing after your calls.

I wouldn't mind having one. These would be great for one of the managed deer hunts I put in for. Very limited draw in a big area. If I put that sign up on the only access trail into my spot then the next hunter getting there late should know to move on.

On public land I would probably be skeptical if I saw one of these signs. I can see people putting these things out before hunting and leaving them as a way of trying to call "dibs" on an area. Same as leaving a treestand in the national forest and thinking you then own that particular area. I am sorry but if you are a late riser and I beat you to that particular oak covered ridge, tough you know what.
In priciple its a good idea. In reality outside of some private land uses as a way of communicating with other hunters you probably already know it seems like a waste of money. If you are trying to keep other hunters off your private land they already make something cheaper than this and more to the point called a no trespassing sign.
Another note for people on public lands flagging tape and reflectors you leave being say to others that someone has scouted here or had luck here before. Also to you its marking a way to your stand to the Forest Service its called littering.

yea i dont think the sign would stop me from going hunting,if they started doing this it would just end up being some body trying to keep you out of public woods,wouldnt work where i live,keep it on private land

I hunt public and private ground, and during turkey season I think these would be great. I hate it when I walk up on a hunter or one walks up on me, and having a PORTABLE sign that I could easily take with me and post in an area in which I settle against a tree to hunt should be appreciated by other hunters. I know I would.

I happened to see these while at the ATA show this past January. Im not sure what my thoughts are actually. Would I ever use these, no. I hunt on private land. I am interested to see if anyone is buying them. I think they are kind of unnescessery.

I primarily hunt during archery season and during firearms hunting on pubic land, I’m so remote and hard to find to begin with! I don’t like doubling back to pick something up and the extra bulk.

i dont think any body needs to put ideas in obama and his gangs head ,theres enough laws,and thats all that sign will end up doing some where,just a matter of time

We mostly hunt on National Forest or Wilderness so don't encounter a lot of hunters if we stay away from
drainages known to contain outfitters and dudes. I can't see ever using these signs in the Rockies or the desert. I'm not certain if it is even legal to put up such markers and will have to look it up. Usually when one hunter encounters another in the mountains it is accidental or along the trail as we tend to move a lot.

Sounds great on paper, but my experience is, there are just enough idiots out there who would shoot at it, rather than bypass it. But then, I've got a stock of ugly stories about idiots whose opinion was that a woman doesn't belong in the woods, & I've had to stand them off at gunpoint. Did I quit hunting? Not "no" but "Hell no!" I calmly pointed out to them that if I went, the reflex of my finger would take at least one of them with me & I would spend the rest of eternity making them suffer for their idiocy. And I have 19 hunting buddies to back up these stories, should anyone claim I'm not telling the truth. Maybe I should write that book..

I own 120 acres or so the town tax people claim. I have never posed my property and have told so many people where they could potentially see a nice buck that I can't remember all their faces. I few years ago I had serious theft problems and had to make a conscious effort to protect myself and my property from further issues, so I decided to post the entire site. Simply put my posting was a total failure so I can't see any effectiveness in these little signs your talking about. As a side note I kept the signs on my property but invited all the hunters that had used the land in the past to return and each of them are extremely conscious of and considerate to each other as well as helping me to police my property. Great deal for me - great deal for them!

If they are going to trespass, one or two signs aren't going to stop them.
Besides, that way you can catch them in the act and have evidence.
THe only down side would be if they are dangerous and willing to shoot you.
