This past fall I was in the driftless area in Wisconsin. Stopped & asked a land owner if I could fish the stream that crossed his place. He gave me the most puzzeled look & then said, "Sure. You're the first one to ask in several years." Seems people had just been helping themselves. He told me some good spots to try that paid off. On the way out I stopped again & thanked him.

Here in S W Mo trespassing can get you a $50.00 ticket or in some cases shot at.
