I'm a farmer with land in three towns and two Counties.
I need hunters. State DEC calculations underestimate the need to kill 40+ does a year to maintain the current population.
Dumping has always been a problem.
Having three snowmobile clubs trails on the property results in more people who have been on the land but they don't want to ruin the trail. Almost every trail has had problems with people messing with things along trail and have had trails closed, and the guys with sleds don't want to end up like dirt bikers.
People have changed. UTVs have some sort of psychotic effect on the soft middle aged men who think they come with title to the world. ATV people run away, or come over and try to play really nice,. UTV people drive right up to the sprayer or planter and demand to know what we are doing, what chemicals we are using.
Posted signs don't work with the UTV crowd. However asking if they have seen anyone else around, and when they say they haven't, explain that the police are still looking for who dumped some child **** and torn clothes possibly from a missing boy....."what was your name again? Since you are the only one around and have the machine to carry that stuff they really want to talk to you." As I pull out a pen and they won't be back.
