I have never met an elitist trust fund kid, in Maine or anywhere else. Just seen them on TV. Where are you finding these flocks of elitist trust fund brats in Maine?

94% of Maine' landmass is privately owned. Trust funds (kids?) own good chunk of it. Naturally, they want the peons off their land.

Who Owns Maine's Forest?

I saw nothing about trust funds in that link. The majority of Maine land is in private hands, but you need not necessarily be a trust fund brat to own a few acres of forest.

Private ownership is largely a good thing. This isn't the U.S.S.R. Even the U.S.S.R. isn't the U.S.S.R. anymore.

That is why I just say no to hunting in my backyard to prevent a hunters stray bullet from accidentally shooting my neighbors kids, our dogs or our houses. The hunter is liable for his actions but its the person getting shot that I am more concerned about.

And this year our nation has had the lowest murder rate since 1904. That is despite the frantic pleadings of the former governor of Marylnd, the Socilist from Vermont snd our recent Secretary of State to shred our Constitution. It isn't about hunting and fishing.

I said in an earlier post that I removed all the no trespassing signs on my land put up by the previous owner. So then you allow shooting on your property where kids play, and you wonder why people aren't friendly???!!! I am not against hunting at all, just irresponsible people with guns. Maine has equal amounts of Liberals and Conservatives, "the way life should be"
