I personally think it is more of the loophole in Virginia's laws that is causing the problems. If it isn't illegal, then you really dont have any unlawful ground to stand on. Ethically, of course its wrong, but i assure you there are as many unethical stillhunters that would use a loophole in the laws to hunt someone elses land also.
Explain that one will you? There's a trespassing loophole that allows you to go on another's lands and not get a ticket?
I pay a lot of $$$ and put lots of time and effort to bowhunt on some land. Why should I have to put up with every Sat morning at 8AM or so the adjoining club drives to their pens and lets out a pack of deer hounds. They have maybe 25 acres, we have over 800. Where do you think they go? Every Sat gets old real quick. I'm bow hunting not dog hunting. I shouldn't have to set up on the deer dog chase excape route to fling an arrow at a running deer getting the heck out of Dogde. Angry? No I'm just tired of others that don't care so i'm going to return the favor. I no longer care.
