Clearing dead fall and overgrown bushes away from a trail is something a lot of hikers take for granted. I'm one of those types who will stop and take the time to remove a log from the trail after the fifty people in front of me just stepped over it. | |

Hunters don't cut trails so they can go for a hike and enjoy nature. They cut trails to access new hunting grounds, and they don't like sharing their prey. They tend to try and keep their trails a secret, and get upset if anyone finds them. | |

I know that around here, there are many areas which are not "parks" per se where the people who volunteer to improve the trails are thrilled to have more people there. With private land you're less likely to be welcome (and rightfully so), but we have a lot of federally-owned land which is largely maintained by volunteers, and I've never seen anybody get mad about people using the trails. | |
