But the land belongs to the landowners! Will you open your home and let strangers come and go as they see fit? I am sure the answer is no, so the landowners are entitled to the same no trespass rule.

Granted SOME have "FORGOTTEN" this is Texas & a Texas hunting forum...but there is NO reason to come over here JUST to stir it up with "opinions" about things elsewhere. YES we are ALL entitled to voice our opinions but (for right now) one is doing it JUST to get a rise out of the rest of us. I would suggest(as I did) to just place that certain someone on ignore & let the "behind the scenes" guys get rid of this person. Im pretty sure someone has already requested their removal. IF not..I VOTE FOR IT!



THANKS!!!

First of all I'd appreciate it if you would stop referring to me as SabrinavonPita and follow the rules of this forum about personal attacks. I'm sure you're man enough to do so.
Secondly, what you think may not necessarily be correct and putting funny little Graemlins as a means of giving them credence is foolish. English Common Law (ECL) is the basis of our legal system in the US vs Pluralist systems used in other countries. When the colonists became independent, they kept the English system, they didn't invent another one. By common law wild animals are regarded as "res nullius" and not being the subject of private property till killed or captured. The maxim of common law is that things of which no one can claim as property belong to the crown by perogative, but that the crown can grant prescription (that means license) if it sees fit to do so. This rule was applied in particular to deer and what we now call game. In short, the right to take game does not lie with the owner or occupier of the soil, but with the state by perogative which is called "ratione privillegi." Said laws also determined what constituted tresspass in relationship to the taking of game. In fact, the English Game Act of 1831 became a model of our current Federal System involving the hunting of migratory waterfowl.
Lastly, you might not bow down before a king, but you do bend over and take it by a very strong federal and lesser so state government. If you don't pay your taxes, your property, including your home can and will be seized and you can easily go to jail in the process. The original 13 colonies rebelled for a whole lot less. If you think you're truly free try to leave the country without a passport or get caught taking 10K dollars out and not declaring it. Try hunting without a license (which come from the ECL) and see what happens. In summary, your statement regarding just who owns the game is incorrect.

If you haven't noticed Maggie, I came and posted on this thread FIRST and in a respectfull manner. You, however, are stalking me and attempting to create discord about me with your own opinions. I'd written this so the Moderators here will see what you're doing and take appropriate action if it continues.
