[OSM-talk] [Tagging] Hunting area tagging

[Pine W]

Just a comment that I'd be wary of "No hunting", "Hunting allowed", or
"Private property", or other signs on the ground that can actually be
placed by anyone, whether or not they are legal. A problem that I've
encountered more than once is a private property owner putting out what
appeared to me to be an illegal sign, like putting a home-made speed limit
sign on the small street that goes by their house. A similar problem that
I've heard about is business owners putting out "No parking", "Customer
parking only", "Private beach", and similar signs which were made to look
official but actually were not approved by any government agency. So
signage that you see in public is not always trustworthy, and I would be
cautious about relying on it. Relying on official databases seems to me to
be preferable to relying on signage.
