Leroy Ogin, 73, told Deer and Deer Hunting that he had traveled that same path for over 60+ years to his hunting spot, which was an old logging road. He did not intend on hunting on the property.
...
IIRC, typical state laws allow people to continue to use traditional paths. He could probably sue the landowner.
He could, but it sounds to me like the landowner is someone best left alone.

Believe it or not, I only see those laws out west/west coast
I live in NJ, we don’t have that law, in order to have a claim on someone else’s property, you need to be paying the property taxes for 20 years and have a need for the property, like a shared driveway. Just because you trespassed for 60+ years, doesn’t mean you have any rights to the property. Not in Jersey anyways.
This is why we bought a bunch of no-trespassing signs. It’s not just about keeping people off your property. It’s about protecting yourself legally.
Does Ogin have any proof he's traveled the path for 60+ years or are we just supposed to take his word for it?
