When I was young and worked in the woods hunting, trapping, fishing and camping, etc., it was the time of my life. I could go anywhere that I wanted to, like through a field to fish or set a trap or to hunt. I thought, when I was young, that it would always be like that.

Boy, did I get a shock when I started seeing the “No Hunting,” “Keep Off” and “Private Road” signs. When I was home, we had a farm big enough to walk on all day. We never had a sign put on it.

Today, outsiders buy up land, and the first thing they do is post it. I don’t know what they have to hide, or why they close the old roads that we used. I thought that freedom was what we went to fight for; freedom to walk wherever.
