Hi back Gail, I guess that the point that I was trying to make (humorously) was that while we "skulk" around woodlands, It is not like the old days when you could walk through the woods with out too many worries from other forms of mankind. In todays world you must be concerned with a criminal element as well. Domestically produced drugs are sometimes the largest cash crop in many rural counties. And that element will go to extreme ends to protect that crop. (Booby traps and worse). They are even using State and National park land thinking that their crop wont be disturbed. I once saw a report about how much illegal hemp is grown on the mountainsides of West Virginia, Maryland,and Virginia.
