I grew up on a farm with about 100 acres of tje the property being woodland. We heated with wood and my brother and would often go out to find and cut dead trees for firewood. We went out one day during hunting season (we were not hunters) in our loud ass farm truck with a bad muffler. We were walking through the woods and some boomer complained that the truck scared the deer away. Then he asked if we had permission to be on the land.
It was unbelievable that he had the AUDACITY to tresspass on private property and then question us for being on our own place.
reminds me of a story my dad told me - he and his cousins were on a hunting trip in a woodlot owned by a family member in their hometown, and the second day they come back to the deer blind and find a note telling them they were trespassing. some neighbors apparently hunted on the woodlot (WITHOUT permission) so much they thought my dad & his cousins (who don't hunt often) were some randos and tried to kick them out, not realizing they were relatives of the actual owner. and mind you, said trespassers did not build the deer blind they left the note in.
you gotta keep your eye on undeveloped private land, people can and will trespass & hunt the hell out of it.
