Private Property

My understanding is you would need written permission from the owner on you. You Definately don't want to hunt someone's land with out permission.
Get onx maps. They aren't required to mark their property line by law. But they can have you arrested for hunting on it

bk,
The regs say.....If the property doesn't belong to you, it belongs to someone else.....It is your responsibility to know who that is.....Be it the state, the feds, corporation, or a person.....With that said....Legally in a court of law, it should be posted 3 signs to the mile, cultivated, or fenced.....So what that means is, you could probably hunt it and get away with it.
This day & age with OnxMaps, it will tell you who owns it.....No reason to not own this app in SoCal.
ps....I once got a trespassing ticket while hunting.....The warden said I was on private property.....Yet the signs were south of where I was standing (no fence or cultivation either).....To the north of the signs was national forest.....He said that their property went up to the NF signs (1 sign stating must be in legal pursuit of game above me)....There were no signs between me and those signs.....Needless to say, I went to court and beat it easily.....The point being here is, you just don't know what law enforcement will determine despite thinking you do know who owns the land. That's why it's important to know the legal aspect of trespassing.

Exactly.....I think I heard about 90% of guys that get citations just pay them....Fortunately, I had the time to do my research and go to court....Twice!
I have had multiple encounters with DFG where I was in the right and had to prove myself since they were wrong. ONX maps will save your butt in these situations. Both times didn not result in a citation. Sadly a lot of our DFG are trying to find a way to cite you rather than help you. Always dot your i's and cross your t's
