I quite agree. Landowners should be able to chose. I'm reminded of a situation I faced in trying to hunt groundhogs and squirrels up north of Cincinnati years ago. The farmers around Mason, Ohio were dead-set on not allowing hunting, but I had a buddy who'd been a farmer up there. He took me around and introduced me to the families I knew. I got permission to hunt, but I had to promise to use shotgun on squirrel and .223 on groundhog.

The former made sense; folks were tired of 22 LR coming through their windows. The latter seemed odd, but the idea was that 22 LR seemed to bounce and carry, where .223 REM was thought to tumble or shatter. Whatever. It got me permission slips, and that is all what I cared about.
