Good advice there, Russ. While we all learn from one another there are, from time to time, Evil Ones who try to use misleading info to cause confusion and misdirection among law abiding characters like you and I.
Due Diligence is certainly something we (Good Guys) should strive to perform in minute detail. As to being accosted on our own claims - well, the burden of proof is the responsibility of the accusers. They are the ones who must have proof of their claims of wrongdoing and then, when in court, presenting our folders of documentation should prevail.
In the field, nose-to-nose with someone presenting something that just isn't true, isn't the time to whip out your file folder of documentation to debate the charges. Just like "debating" with a police officer over a traffic ticket nose-to-nose is never going to resolve the situation.
So yes, yes, yes be sure to keep all that legal stuff in a secure place - not to be hand carried every day on the claim to refute false accusations that might come along.
All the best to you, Russ. Springs-a-coming soon and the snow will retreat from it without doubt. Go look at seed packets in the store --- THAT'LL get you smiling!
