Richie,

Please do not get me wrong, I do not condone nor encourage trespassing. I only meant to say that the wildlife belongs to all of us both land owners and non landowners.

A landowner has complete say as to who hunts and who does not, even if that means nobody hunts. A landowner buys land to do as they wish with it, and that is thier right. If the people whom trespass would ask permission instead of inviting themselves, it may be easier for other sportsmen and women to get previously unobtainable hunting and fishing permission. I think permission means the landowner ALLOWS you on. It is insane to invite yourself or assume you are alowed to tread as you wish.

Someday I wish to own a couple of hundred acres of my own and I would be very selective as to who I let in. I understand the landowners who are fed up with poachers, trespassers, litterbugs etc.
