Default RE: Would you knowingly break the law?

A lot of this is subjective as well and will depend on where you live. Not that trespassing is ever a good thing, but in some places the reaction will be different than in others.

For example, QuickSilver is from Pittsburgh. I grew up in Pittsburgh and spent the early portion of my hunting career hunting land out there. Property lines were grey areas and most people didn't mind if you strayed a little onto their property in most cases. People are friendly and hunting is in most cases welcomed. Now I live outside of Philly and even though it is the same state it is a completely different mentality out here. There is heavy competition for land and you had better abide by each and every land owner's specific rules or you will find yourself being hauled away in handcuffs. I have always respected landowners and their rights, but to be honest I have more respect for the western PA landowners than I do the people here. I follow their rules more because I am a good sportsman than out of respect for them. They view hunters as nothing more than deer exterminators and treat you as they would the Orkin man (sometimes worse).

So, it is easy to cast opinions when relating to where you live, but it's not the same everywhere. Bottom line, trespassing is trespassing.
