RE: Dealing with trespassers in New York
Tatonka, with all due respect, I don't see how you could say that and have ever owned land. If you did, you would udnerstand. It costs a LOT of money to own land nowadays, and if you care about it, it also requires a lot of upkeep. Owning land is no joke. It is 100% the equivelent of lending your car out. Not to mention the threat of lawsuits if someone gets hurt on your land, which almost anyone would turn around and sue EVERYONE nowadays to make a quick buck. Why should I, a landowner, local or not, pay taxes, a mortgage, and upkeep expenses, and then feel like a I have to allow other people to hunt on MY LAND or else be considered selfish? How is purchasing something, anything, and then expecting other people to respect your ownership of said item (land or not) a selfish act? If Joe Redneck living down the county road doesn't like that I am from the city and own "his" land, then he should have bought it before I did, or offered a higher price.
