RE: Non-res landowners
I like emo's solution the best. It's better to try to get along with your new neighbors. you have to remeber that you are the one seen as the outsider--I know you would have landowner rights and all that but there may be people currently hunting your potential farm now and have been for generations and that's hard for them to swallow as well. You would have the law on your side but I think It would be better to acquaint yourself with some of your neighbors and get them to look after your place in return for hunting privileges--everybody wins--You may lose a few good bucks in the deal but would probably be worth it in the long run. If your REAL set on keeping people out perhaps you should relocate there.
