Some of the land under forest tax laws is open for public access. Each law has different public access provisions.
All Forest Crop Law (FCL) lands are open to the public for hunting and fishing. For any other uses, landowner permission is required.
Under the Managed Forest Law (MFL), landowners have the right to keep some lands closed to public access. Lands that remain open to public access are available for hunting, fishing, cross-country skiing, hiking and sightseeing. The law is specific about these permitted activities. Some activities not permitted under the law include motorized vehicles, permanent tree stands, picking berries or mushrooms, and trapping. The landowner may allow these activities but without permission you may be violating trespass laws.
Keep in mind, these are private lands. You should always respect the landowner's rights and wishes. Use good hunter ethics. Hunters don't have to obtain permission to use "open" tax law lands but should be courteous and considerate of the landowner. By building a relationship with the property owner chances are you'll enjoy your hunting experience. In many cases open lands are a part of a larger property. Landowners may prefer to direct hunters safely across their property to "open" lands.
