Lease Question

Recommended Posts

If someone leases land and posts it do they have to put out new signs each year or are the leases set up year to year or a couple years?? Out where I hunt people have leased land maybe three years back and after they leased it they posted it. The other day I drove by and the same old signs are still there. I stopped and read the sign and was just wondering why there was no date on them, just a signiture. I believe the leasor is a paper company out of Grand Rapids MN. I just find it strange that people can post this land with a one year lease and not take down the signs when their lease is over. Just courious!!!

Here is Requlation:

Definitions and Posting Require ments

• “Outdoor Recreation” means any activity including hunting, fishing,

trapping, boating, hiking, camping, and engaging in winter sports

which is conducted primarily for the purposes of pleasure, rest or

relaxation and is dependent on or derives its principal benefit from

natural surroundings.

• “Agricultural land” is land that: 1) is plowed or tilled; 2) has standing

crops or crop residues; 3) is within a maintained fence for enclosing

domestic livestock; 4) is planted to native or introduced grassland or

hay land; or 5) is planted to short-rotation woody crops (hybrid poplar

and other woody plants that are harvested for their fiber within 15

years of planting).

IMPORTANT NOTE: All planted grassland and hayland and all hybrid

poplar and other woody plants that are harvested for their fiber within

15 years of planting meet this definition, including grasslands enrolled in

the federal Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), Conservation Reserve

Enhancement Program (CREP), or the state Reinvest In Minnesota (RIM)

Reserve program. These lands do not need to be posted to prevent unauthorized

trespass. However, land that is brush or trees, including CRP, CREP,

and RIM Reserve that is brush or trees, (except short-rotation woody crops

as defined above) does not meet this definition and must be posted or verbal

notice given to trespassers for criminal enforcement to occur.

Hunters and trappers: Always respect private lands. Ask first before

entering lands not posted as being open to hunting and trapping. You will

improve relationships between landowners and recreationists, and you will

have a more enjoyable time in the field.

• To be legally posted, land must have signs:

posted once each year that state “no trespassing” or similar terms

either: 1) along the boundaries

every 1,000 feet or less, or in wooded

areas where boundaries are less clear, at intervals of 500 feet or less; or

2) at the primary corners of each parcel of land and at access roads

and trails at points of entrance to each parcel, except corners only

accessible through agricultural land need not be posted.

—with lettering at least 2 inches high and the signature or the legible

13

Tr espass Law

name and telephone number of the owner,

occupant,

lessee, or authorized

manager. An unauthorized

person may not post land with signs

prohibiting outdoor recreation or trespass.

• Notification to stay off private land, authorization to remove a sign

posted to prevent trespass, or legal permission to enter private

land or

to take wild animals

near occupied

buildings or corrals, may only be

given by the owner,

occupant,

or lessee.

I think it is also important to note that if the land is not posted buy you are approached by the owner and asked to leave, you must comply. This may hold true for a lesee as well.

I believe the whole point of having the posting rules is to prevent someone from just throwing up postings at will on land they don't have rights to.

For those that own the land, they may think the rules are restricting but they are there to protect us from illegal posters, not to impose on land-owners by making them repost every year.

I have a Potlatch lease and its year to year, but we keep paying to re-lease each year so the guys who put the signs up may still have a lease on the land. I do not post my lease, have not had to yet..........

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
