Well, I'm surprised more folks in NY haven't gotten on the state for their verbage. But, lets not get carried away. "Unimproved" and "unused"? If I have a storage building on my property, gravel the entrance road, then its improved. Let alone if my house is on my acrage. If I hunt the land, becuase I own it, have atv trails on it that I ride, it's not "unused" now is it? This is the kind of crap folks will interpret their own way to trespass. Like you said, its the game you play in NY. If you did that in Virginia, it would end badly, for you.
