rr, it gets hard for me to follow who's responding to who, but i try.
I never meant to insinuate, nor did I give any thought to how you got your land, I just responded to your statement that some of us who don't think like you were first time land owners like that was a bad thing. Yes I know what you meant, I've been exposed to new land owners myself, but that's not what you said.
A few years ago here in PA. there was a landmark lawsuit that developed from a hunter who entered a property without permission, made a stupid shot in the wrong direction and hit a lady getting in or out of her car in a housing development. It was a ridiculous distance away, but none the less it happened. The hunter had absolutely nothing for the victim to take so guess who they turned their lawyers loose on? Yep, the land owner. He at least owned pockets, no matter how deep or shallow they were. The court decided in the victims favor and higher courts upheld that decision.
Posted signs went up across the state and hunting was on the verge of coming to a screeching halt as farmers and land owners were in fear of leaving anyone at all hunt their property. Finally a new law that somewhat, kind of, maybe, perhaps absolved the property owner of responsibility for illegal hunters on their properties. Not completely but a little bit.
You assume too much when you kind of indicate that I'm a newly possessed land owner acting like a dog in the manger and wanting to keep everyone off their newly acquired land.
It's more a case of responsible land stewardship and the preservation of the land for the future generations of our family. It's important to us that we continue the continuity of ownership through our family and won't allow some stupid trespasser to ruin that plan.
You go ahead and be the nice guy, the world needs lots of them, but please don't cast a stink eye on those of us who do what we need to do to protect our own.

Today's Featured Article - An AC Model M Crawler - by Anthony West. Neil Atkins is a man in his late thirties, a mild and patient character who talks fondly of his farming heritage. He farms around a hundred and fifty acres of arable land, in a village called Southam, located just outside Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
