It's called public land for a reason, you have no exclusive claim to any of it, and stressing out over something so trivial is downright childish.
While you are, of course, correct, here is the scenario in other, less harsh, words. It is decided that more people will use the property if a trail is built. Hunters will not be allowed to hunt near the trail any more for perceived "safety" reasons.
Money will be needed to build the trail though. Lets see who will get the honor of paying for the trail that shuts them out. Will it be the hunters? That's the way it seems to work here.
