I would use the 'Open Data from official sources' to confirm the 'on the
ground' public signage. A conflict should lead to further
investigation/thought.

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.

I'm not a hunter, but I have encountered a lot of "hunting
forbidden" signs in different places, sometimes every few
meters apparently delimiting an area. While I didn't map them
at the time, I guess I could have done it without having
deeper insights into the hunting business, simply by looking
where the signs were.
What you ask for is desirable, but I would not make it a
requirement. In any field you can provide better mapping if
you know more about the topic, but this hasn't led us to only
ask specialists for their contribution.
cheers,
Martin
