Kongens Vildtbanesten - Høve, Danmark - Public Land Survey Marks on Waymarking.com

Vildbanepælen fra 1778 er en gammel markering for kongens jagtområder. Kong Christian d.7. oprettede flere kongelige vildtbaner i Odsherred
En vildtbane er et stort samlet jagtdistrikt. De mest kendte var forbeholdt kongen. Han afholdt jagter med hovbønderne som klappere. Bønderne måtte også finde sig i, at vildtet græssede på markerne.
Begrebet går tilbage til 1200-tallet, men især Frederik 2. samlede store områder ved mageskifter af det gamle klostergods.
Blev en adelsmand grebet i ulovlig jagt på en kongelig vildtbane kom han i fængsel, mens alle andre blev hængt. Bøndernes hunde skulle have det ene forben hugget af ved knæet, så de ikke kunne jage på forbudte områder.
