Physical Posting (Rule Highlights)

Signs must be placed alongside the public highway or the land giving notice that hunting is not permitted on the land.
The name of the person posting the land must appear on each sign in legible characters.
Signs must be readable from the outside of the land.
Signs must be placed conspicuously not more than 880 yards [804.68 meters] apart.
If land is entirely enclosed by a fence or other enclosure, posting of signs at or on all gates through the fence or enclosure constitutes a posting of all the enclosed land.
