> What's oddly unsaid here is WHY private landowners would care
The linked article has a section titled "Landowner Views on Corner-Crossing" that shows the landowner's point of view. To summarize the 2 points:
- It's the principle and landowners don't want their property rights eroded further.
- Corner crossers are often misbehaving bad actors. If no one's watching these people are likely to not just corner cross but actually violate private land. There's lots of quotes from a landowner about hunters shooting deer on private property.
(This is my summary of the points from the article, not my opinion)
