Jerry while most hunters are good people there are the few out there that ruin it for everyone. I know one guy (he could have taken over his dads farm and had a place to hunt but didn't want to work) who honestly believes that because some farmers get subsidies that their property should be open to public hunting. I keep telling him I should have a key to his house so I can spent the night cause he's on welfare. Mom and dad had problems with people hunting without permission. When I first retired from the Army I walked the property line with a .22 rifle every day for about 6 months. No problems now. But that's what it took in west MN to keep the local bums off the property. I did tear down a couple of illegal stands right after I retired too. One I used. 1st opening day after I got home. Was in this stand someone was nice enough to build on our farm. Guy shows up about 10 minutes after I got in the stand. At 1st he claimed to have permission. Bad part is he's related on my wife's side, 1st cousin, I know him, mom couldn't stand him. A good friend of mine owns 300 acres. Couple of years ago he went out to check his favorite stand and found the guy next door had not only knocked his stand down but had cut shooting lanes through my friends place. My friend is somewhat timid but I'm not. I confronted the guy. He tried making threats. That didn't work to well for him. I called him on it in public. He backed down. He's a bully and has many folks around here afraid of him. Because of my experiences here, in KS, TX and KY with hunting and trespassing I have no sympathy for those who do so. Heck the guy that owns 40 acres on my west side told me not to hunt my woods cause "they might shoot across property lines". I told him to make it count cause if he didn't I was shooting back because of 20 years of military training where you are taught that the 1st reaction to receiving fire is to return fire. I've had no problems with him sense then. The stories can go on and on. Heck most of the poachers near Battle Lake MN are related to my wife, and there's a bunch of them. Her own brother could write a book on road hunting.
