Your analogy just doesn't work. If you're hunting public land you have no rights once private land comes into play. But, if you're on private property and public land becomes part of the equation, then the private land owner has the same rights on the public land that you do.
Also something that some don't seem to realize, or don't care about, is the simple fact that land owners acquire a bad attitude toward strangers for a reason. If you own land long enough you'll probably fall victim to poachers, thieves or vandals. Having property shot up or stolen, will make a land owner real grumpy after a while. Of course in the minds of some he's just being a jerk.
