I sure am glad I don't live N shittyanda.

Yes, it is pretty tough here abiding by the laws, unless you own land, have a lot of permission or go to the public lands which normally have a lot of traffic if they are any good. Even at all that it's the adjacent properties where folks have the problems. Sure has cut my time behind dogs down as it isn't worth the hassle like it once was.

I've never had a problem clearing land to hunt over, never been turned down when asking permission but once and that was after a farmers shed was shot while they were working on a tractor, they came out and the hunters were headed over the hill in retreat, they knew what they had done but instead of facing the owner, they ran. I was still allowed to run pups on the property, just not carry a gun, so some slob hunters ruined a good hunting farm.
We've had a couple of cattle killed, shot with slugs during deer season, one cow and one steer. Nobody came to confess, we just found them when they didn't come up to take ground feed in the evening. You have to understand both sides of these events. The property owner/farmer has the right to keep his animals safe. Hunters have the responsibility to clear permission and not cause injury or damage to personal property.
Most animals kept in the barn are young, old or sick. The farmer is not going to take kindly to hounds in his barn, especially if he's had trouble before with rogue dogs or predators after his young animals, he's liable to shoot first and ask questions latter.
We might come to think of these things in another light maybe. Farmers may have changed because the people they have to deal with have changed. I wish we could turn back the hands of time, but today is different, we have to work at restoring the damage that's been done and regain the faith and trust. jmho
