RE: Possible link to other slain hunter?
I agree with the trespassing part getting out of hand, even where I hunt in a "semi-residential area." I have a tree stand along the very long driveway to our cabin as deer commonly cross over it through the many acres of woods we are in. It is not a residential area but there are lots of cabins in close proximity to one another on a lake, so there are neighbors driveways a few hundred feet to the east and west of me. It is not uncommon to see several hunters wearing blaze orange in their trucks slowly driving up and down my neighbors' driveways each morning of deer season "road hunting" on a private driveway. They do so without permission ( I iknow I've asked the landowners) knowing that the cabin owners are not there or out of bed yet. I suppose they'd make up some story like they shot the deer in the ditch and tracked it there to the private land. Some people feel they have the right to hunt wherever they want and spoil it for the majority of hunters who are respectful of one another. I haven't always owned the few acres I do now but managed to get along just fine on public land or getting permission to hunt someone else's private land.
