You must be a lawyer. You're probably right. I've seen those "right to pass by permission of owner" signs.

I'm just tired of seeing where every time some city person buys their 5 acres in the country, the first thing they do is put up "no trespassing" signs all over the place, even in places where the locals have been going forever. The way I was raised, you leave gates the way you found them, take your trash with you, don't let your dog chase the cattle, dig a hole for your sh*t, and don't start a wild fire, and you're generally welcome to travel across private land.
I put "no hunting / no camping" signs by my cabin because I don't want me or my trucks to get bullet holes in them and I wasn't very happy about finding a gut pile in the creek that I drink out of, but it doesn't bother me a bit to have guys walk across the place, especially if they're decent enough to stop and introduce themselves. It's the yahoos from the city, in their shiny new trucks, "hunting" by driving up and down the road hoping something brown will jump out in front of them, and throwing beer cans out the window, that I could do without. I'm tired of picking up their garbage, they tear up wet meadows showing off their trucks' "off-roading" abilities, and one of these days one of them is going to throw a cigarette into some weeds and burn the whole valley up.
