I dont have a problem with anyone pressing charges when somone trespasses and i understand it, i'm just posting this to ask a question.

I am younger (21) i have heard my dad talk about when he was younger him and his friends could basicly go fishing and camping and stuff where ever they want just as long as they were respectful to the land. I personally love to fish, love to camp and generally enjoy the out doors. Ifi am ever on someone elses land either with permission or without (which would be by mistake because of situations like this) i am very respectful to that land. i would not keep fish, i would not deface property and i would not leave any kind of trace when camping. I'm just curious what the generation that my father is in, who spent their days and nights out in the woods without having to check every tree for a posted sign, who got to enjoy the out doors to the fullest and for the most part are the people who are now landowners, are worried about. is it just the disrespectful people? is it everyone, is it a matter of principle, is it just to have that feeling that you posses something and controll it?

I am like i said very respectful to the land because i want my children to enjoy it as much as i have, and i feel that many people are just like me. I just wish that there were more places that i had to enjoy the out doors.

I AM BY NO MEANS ACCUSING CUERNO OR ANYONE ELSE FOR ANYTHING. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE A FEW BAD APPLES THAT RUIN THINGS FOR EVERYONE. I AM SIMPLY LOOKING FOR SOME INSIGHT ON THIS SUBJECT.
