RE: Private land access!!!
We initially had problems in 1994 when we leased land in Zone 2 b/c the "locals" claimed it as their own. We had poachers/stolen stands/intimidation/etc but it eventually stopped. We actually caught one of the guys when his truck got stuck in the mud so we called the state police. Eventually it stopped as we werent going away and the owner of the property talked to the neighbors on our behalf.
The funny thing was when we tried doing QDM and approached the neighbors who thought that we were lunatics! So much for that although we tried for a season.
Good luck and stay strong.
