RE: I had permission or did I?
Several years ago I got permission to hunt some very prime land here in Maryland. A week later, when the owner saw my truck parked on the land, he called the NRP. This was in the days before anyone thought of getting written permission so the officer and I went to the landowners house to clear things up. The owner denied ever seeing me before and said he would press charges. About this time his wife comes into the room and asked me how the hunting was going. Turns out he had Alzheimers and just didn't remember that he had given me permission. Anyway, I stopped hunting there because his wife thought "it might be best". At least back in those days I had lots of other farms to hunt before the developers moved in and bought everything up.
