How times have changed. You used to be able to wander up to a farm and ask permission and it was typically granted. We never owned land, but I used this method religiously as a kid when we would visit relatives in IL as well as around the county in MI where I grew up. I can understand the sentiment though with the litigious society we have morphed into. It's a sad testament of our ability to take personal responsibility for our actions. It was understood that you left gates as you found them, you didn't shoot up things that weren't supposed to be shot, if you got ran over by a bull you deserved it because you got too close, and if you shot yourself in the foot; it was understood that you were responsible for shooting your foot.
Since those days are gone. I guess I would have to agree with the others that I would use it as my personal hunting ground and not have to worry about being sued because someone decided it was a good idea to try and milk the bull.
