Lots of things I find amusing about all this.
I find it amusing when people grumble about a change in land ownership and the loss of the ability to hunt a particular plot of land. I find it amusing when common courtesies aren't rendered. I find it amusing when people try to BS their way through a trespassing event, especially with actual friends/relatives of the land owners (or even with the land owners themselves).
So much amusing BS going on which in many cases could likely have been avoided entirely by one simple thing:
FINDING THE OWNER(S) AND ASKING PERMISSION.
Just because an area is posted "No Trespassing" doesn't mean a person can't hunt there. It means other people can't hunt there without permission.
That's where common courtesy comes in. Maybe the owners don't want anybody at all on their property, hunters or not. But you don't know until you actually ask.
Growing up, this was the kind of common courtesy I was raised with. I can remember wanting to hunt some place once and Mom told me "Introduce yourself as J.W.'s boy and ask permission." Conversations revolved around permission, what we were hunting for, where any livestock were (directions to be careful shooting in), that we'd stop by and let them know we were leaving, etc.
And what if the people don't give permission? Well, obviously you can't hunt on their property. But you can certainly ask about OTHER places to hunt and who to talk to. Maybe they'll toss out a few names and places. And politely ask if you can check back with them at a future time, as well.
