3rd Lottery is out

[Anylakeanytime]

Just letting everyone know the third lottery is out (Thursday, July 21) first come first serve so get those extra tags (Number of tags given out in the state increased again this year... gotta love it).

On a side not, I noticed that the 2F1 unit (New Rockford and Carrington area) always has an absurd amount of tags let over every year... I heard that this was due to the farmers posting the land pretty tight up there and not letting anyone on. Anyone hunt that are and experience whether or not this is true?

I guess the first come first serve basis for tags starts after the 3rd lottery. Sorry for any confusion.

Ben land is getting tighter out here every year. If you know someone that owns some land that is the best. Otherwise many people out here are very goodfor letting you on they just want to know who is on their land. So it never hurts to ask to hunt.

The reason land is getting harder to access is because of all the trespassing and I have given people permission to hunt certain days and areas and then come to find out they are hunting were they were not suppossed to and bringing friends along and they did not have permission for that.One tries to keep only so many hunters hunting at one time for the safety of all and alot of people dont understand that or just dont care.So,myself along with many other s in the area have started to just say no to all,which is to bad for the good hunters,problem being you dont know who the good hunters are when they ask,so it gets bad for everyone.People will shoot from the road,by the house and cut the locks on the gates.There is nothing that some people not sportsman will do when they think noone is around or looking.Maybe someday one will be able to allow other hunters to come and enjoy the hunting again,but until then alot of landowners are just going to say no,and not because you are bad,they just cant tell who is a sportsman and who isnt.

I guess I didn't want my question to be a forum about posting. I have nothing against posting the land and not letting hunters on? It is their land, and I respect their decisions 100%. My main question was whether or not the rumor about the land being tightly posted up their was true. I would mind hunting a unit that is waaaaay overstocked with deer , but I don't want to drive up their to find out that you can't get on to some decent land.
