Troy,that is just twisted! What the heck is wrong with people? With all that country out there they have to be crowding you and breaking your chops.It doesn't make sense.I know you wont do any thing rash.Be dilligent and follow the letter of the law.After you meeting with the landowners,you of course have to honor their wishes.
These guys while holding responsible positions are idiots,they have a lot to lose and should be reprimanded as a result of their actions.Trespassing,purposely ruining someone's hunting as a public employee should be career suicide!
Good luck,you have everything in your favor,hopefully these bozo's are not politically connected.It is very disturbing to hear about this kind of stuff!
