Alarm is sounding, but do we hear it?

I don't know about the legality of putting nails on the ground. However I did loose a good game cam since I put it up in a place that would catch people trespassing. And I believe a law a year or two ago changed the fact that landowners were liable should someone get hurt on your property. I happen to remember that there was a huge stink when they closed down all the university ground around here when someone sued for a broken ankle. I am not 100% positive on this but honestly I believe they reopened all the ground after a law went through that changed that.

Be prepared. Once you go you won't ever want to stop. Turkey FEVER !! . You'll really love it with your son. Go do it.
I have had my run ins with trespassers. I caught one last year that came in behind me while I was turkey hunting in the spring. He and his budy were mushroom hunting.... The idiots however were seen driving thier boses truck right through the landowners plowed field ( because they couldn't go through the gate). The companys phone number was on the side of the truck soooooooo............ I desided to give the number a call. Turns out he wasn't supposed to be driving that truck except for work. His bose thank me, he wasn't happy that his truck was in a corn field 30 miles away from where it was suppossed to be. The moron had some explaining to do I think. Needless to say I let them know I was standing next to thier truck before I left. Things that go BOOM will get thier attention real fast. Not 10 minutes later we watched them getting the hell out of there. Of course they went through the field again. I would never think about doing that.

The liberals have found out that by attacking hunting rights, and making it harder to hunt, folks tend to stop by guns, the liberals win... We've been pretty lucky to not have alot lease hunting in Nebraska, but it's coming, and that will end alot of folks hunting. And again, gun ownership will go down... I've lost several place to hunt to leases, the last several years... At least there is still decent Map ground, but I'm spoiled, I rather drive five miles and hunt all day, then have to drive 30... We all need to respect and work on community relations with the farmer/landowners...

Another way is to raise taxes, pissing of the land owner. Raise the taxes on ground the is great for hunting, and poor for anything else. Land owners are tired of it, and now leasing the ground out to help cover the taxes. Permission to hunt around any parks or public hunting areas is non-existant. "Outfitters" are getting in the thousands of dollars to bring in out of state, more dollars than sense city boys making more in spendable income than the average person's wage here in the state. They, along with taxes, are what is ruining hunting for the lower income hunter in the state.
We are turning into Europe, where hunting is a rich man's sport. It is a damn shame. >:(
I refuse to spend $2500 for a canned hunt, guaranteed a shot at a 200 class buck.

That's something I've noticed too. I just feel lucky my family owns some excellent hunting land.
