Harry,
All good and valid points except #4. If I had "No Trespassing" signs
posted I wouldn't expect to see picnickers on my property.

My only real problem with hunters is their referring to their slaughter of
animals as "sport." It isn't sporting to shoot an animal.

I don't allow hunters on my property for the following reasons:

1. I am protective of the critters who live on and around my property.
They are under enormous pressure from developers and motorized traffic.
My wife and I - and our neighbors - like to watch the animals and think
that there should be areas where they are not harassed or hunted.

2. I don't want to walk my woods and encounter empty beer cans, whiskey
bottles and fast food wrappers. I also don't want ATV idiots on my land,
or trail motorcycles.

3. As Doug points out, I don't want anyone on or near my property
discharging firearms withour realizing their discharges travel some
distance when they miss, and can be dangerous.

4. I don't chase off anyone armed with only a camera, or carrying a
blanket and picnic basket.
