dk, are you sure you know where you're at? You better be careful ripping signs down. GPS maps aren't always accurate. Also, before assuming a property isn't properly posted you better check the corners. A section corner is a mile away from the next one and sometimes the parcel is a full section, in other words just because you can't see a sign when you get to a private property border doesn't mean it's not properly posted. With cameras all over the mountains now, people should think twice before assuming one will not get caught when doing something illegal.
