[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 2834639, member: 33046"] Hunting today is FAR different than "back in the day". Private property means exactly that now. City dwellers wanting a piece of the quiet life, moved to the countryside and bought up any available land. Farmers sold frontage, then acreage. The farmer's children didn't want to farm anymore and when the old farmers passed, they split and sold off the farms. When I was a youngster, I could start out from the farm in the morning, cross properly line after properly line of our neighbors, who also did the same. If I were to meet up with a neighbor in the marsh, we'd start hunting together. When it was time to head home, I might be 5miles from the farm. I'd unload and start walking home down the road. Normally the first, maybe the second car that came by, stopped and picked me up and took me home. TRY THAT TODAY! If.............. one has the property available to them, then [B]sneaking into range[/B] is a possibility. However, I dare say that likely 80% of the country now days is made up of smaller acreage, not 10's of thousands like some large ranches out west. Regardless of the state east of the Miss., state lands look like pumpkin patches. Fights, arguments, parking issues, prevail. Private land owners argue and fight with their neighbors over hunting rights and QDM. Yes, there's advancements made in muzzleloading, archery, and firearms in general. Those who want to dress the part and use a flint or percussion, can certainly do that in any of the firearm seasons. I applaud those hunters. I started out like that and have been hunting with a muzzleloader since "73". Today I prefer modern and their abilities. So............... we have pumpkin patches, fights, arguments and the such, just over hunting itself. And guess what? Now we're arguing over rather a hunter can use a modern inline or a scope. Believe me, the anti's are reading these posts, just as the DNR or wildlife officers. Divide and conquer? [/QUOTE]
