Absolutely. A few bad apples could spoil this. All that has to be done is to show that "harm" is being done to the private property and out we could go.
Now is a wonderful oppertunity for fishers like most of this board to reach out to land owners. Learn who they are, what they do. Close gates, pick up trash, offer to catch a few for their dinner. Now is a time to make relationships so that when they pass, they wave, stop and ask if you know the guy up the river. "No, but I'll keep an eye on him"
Maybe a good waterway relationship will develop into a few small game hunts and allowing to achery hunt.
It is very important that we the responsible sportsman police the irrisponsible. Call the poaching hotline on poachers and tesspassers. "Get into it" with litterbugs and help land owners to see no impact on their land due to this ruling.
