One last post on open fields, and then I'll let it go. I agree with Jon L. that protection of property rights is important. It is a question in this case of what do we do with those responsible for overseeing the use of a public resource, i.e. wild life. I really dislike the taking of property that often occurs, say, under the Endangered Species Act, but this is much different. I'd also feel differently if I didn't distrust the motivation behind this bill. Limiting access of game wardens just makes it easier for hunters to abuse the law, and that makes all hunters, including this one, look bad. If there are wardens who are abusing their power, let's find out who they are and punish them. But let's let the good ones do their job.
