There's nothing wrong with trying to be accomodating, especially when you seem to be in the minority. How many farmers have closed off their property to rude and inconsiderate hunters? He and others can be hard-a***d about it, and for what; or, they can face the new reality and preserve what remains by the means at hand. Many of us will probably face the same thing be it a skeet range or duck marsh.
