The landowner protection act says "specifically related only to hunting, fishing or trapping on POSTED land"
My son and I have been trapping along a creek for the past 5 weeks or so and yesterday I was met by the HOA vice president "Karen" handing me a letter that says I am not allowed to access the river from the street because it belongs to her HOA. I was given a citation by the game warden and he told me that any land in NC that you hunt on you need Landowner's Written Permission. The HOA wasnt posted, there were ZERO signs! As I'm reading this GS14-159.6 and 159-7 I read it as land that is POSTED. I would have never gone onto land that had posted signs on it....I'm not like that. I honestly thought it was town property,
Can anyone shed light on this for me? Has anyone else been through this?
I have a court date at the end of march.
Thanks guys!
