Yup. A lot of drunk asshole rednecks. I don't want them on my land.

Yeah, born and raised here in VT. And because I know the woods and the type of people that abuse property rights, you bet your ass that I'm posting aggressively.

I don't give a flying F if they've hunted there for generations. I worked my ass off to buy that land and things change.

Attitudes like yours are why VT is having a problem attracting people to live here.

So I guess I'll go back to Killington?...jackass

I get where you're coming from, I'm a native Vermonter myself but if I had land I would certainly post it. But I would give permission to a select few that asked to use the land.

They can't be respectful then it's time to post it. Besides if it's getting used that much I'd be worried if someone got hurt they can sue you. Post it. They do make white signs. Lol

heads up, Cornerstone's only open like 4 days/week or something

if you're in town, visit Aranda's for some good empanadas too. I went recently based on a reddit recommendation, and they're _good_.

We've had almost all of those problems. It's so discouraging.

Hate me now - I haven’t cleaned a fish in several years, and big kudos to those who don’t mind it and can do it in their sleep. Sounds like good eatin’ though!

Looks like a blast for multiple reasons! This is a must trip for us now. Thanks.

Exactly. The hunters have been hunting our land for decades and still ask for permission every year (sometimes they even share some meat with us! That is amazing!). The recreation people have never asked.

Thanks. A Barre trip would be sorta fun.

My dog was killed on my property by dogs whose owner had permission from the previous to walk his dog there. We made it very, very clear his dogs weren't welcome on our property anymore. It was almost 10 years ago, and I'm still upset about it

It wouldn't be hard for someone to knock on our door, stick a note in the mailbox or ask a neighbor for a phone number. We've been here forever. Not hard to track us down.

Perch caught through the ice and whatever frozen fries the store had 😚👌

Well. We have 122 acres in Franklin County. It’s fairly isolated. 95 acres are forested and we only post a 15 acre wood lot and the signs are ripped down almost as fast as we replace them. We’ve had game cameras vandalized/stolen. In the past few years in walking through we found 3 unmarked deer stands along with a total of two construction bags worth of trash, bottles, and cans we toted out. Sometimes I stop snowmobiles racing around in the hayfield. Last year I stopped some guys who cut down maples on the edge of the property. They had already cut and loaded their truck. Don’t even ask me about the trash people have dumped. It’s freaking discouraging.

Cornerstone in Barre has really good fish and chips. I haven't tried the dish at many places in VT, but I was super happy with theirs.

OK that's good. I wasn't sure I just didn't want IP to lose his family land.

Lil Britain is excellent!

Absolutely not.

Also I think you are misconstruing my post. Many municipalities have recreation committees that help the town and townspeople interface with trails etc. they can be a helpful resource for communicating about using private land for recreation.

I think the other comments already made the case on how climate drastically changes based on geographically features. Just because the coast isn’t too far away, it doesn’t mean that the weather isn’t drastically different.

Moving 171 miles away in the same country, isn’t exactly uprooting your life either

That place is really good, by far my fave in this town. The peeps are very sweet.

Maybe it's a thing in Vermont. Here in Lamoille County it seems the same architect who gets his inspiration from low-budget 1990s motels is designing a lot of the new rental properties. I would imagine it's more affordable to building non-descript box-like buildings than ones with interesting architectural details.

The same with VAST trails. Lots of private landowners support that.
