Holler Critter,
You sound exactly like the hunters I met when my father and I purchased 160 acres here in Ohio. Neighbors had been hunting the woods and fields for years with out permission, safe in knowing the widow who owned the farm was to frail and feeble to goback into the woods and chase them off.
I never met one of these so called hunters while I was driving fence posts to clearly mark the property lines, brush hogging fields, planting with deer and turkey in mind and clearing up the woods while cutting in tractor and atv trails. NO when I met them was soon after the first frost of fall and they stopped by my house or called on the phone since I had put my phone number on the NO TRESSPASSING signs. They said "we have hunted the farm for years YOU POSTED IT can we still hunt there?" To all I said NO
My family leases out the bow hunting rights on the farm each year. We reserve gun and muzzleloader season for our family. In the lease the hunters are required to take at least 1doe per hunter per season. The money from leasing the bow hunting rights goes a long way toward paying the property taxes, buying those expensive parts for john deere tractors and planters, buying seeds and spray and the other items required for properly managing the farm for wildlife.
You, Like them WANT SOMETHING FOR NOTHING, Hunters like you are perfectly willing to let myself and family pay for the land, pay the taxes, buy the equipment to plant and manage the farm for you. Then when you are not given permission to hunt for free you bemoan how landowners who lease are ruining hunting for hunters like you. THERE ARE NO FREE RIDES
I suggest you buy a piece of ground, pour your own blood, your own sweat, your own tears, and your money into it. I bet once the shoe is on the other foot you won't be so quick to critize landowners and leasing...
