I agree strech, your points are all well made.

I really don't think there are too many people in your situation,(using the plots in that manner), nor do I think it is a big enough issue that the state should be worrying about it.

I think you are likely helping the herd, and that it is unlikely you are affecting anyone elses hunting.I believe that you should be allowed a certain amount of discretion assuming those two criteria are met and it is afterall your own land.(private property)
