Could it be because the two are treated as separate issues. In other words, that right of access is deemed to e different from licensed permission.

Which would mean that what applies to private land regards right of access does not apply to public land.

I know this, as a registered trapper I could set traps for Coyote on private land I had right of access too, and on my registered line which is of course Public land, but I could not set traps for Coyote, or any other species on public land I was not licensed to trap.

So clearly the right to trap public land is not automatically given.

For fur bearing animals... rabbits aren’t.
