Yes Pike is "sold out" as far as land leases and outfitting goes. If you think that folks are gonna get on your land, then IL it seems that you certainly need to post your land. And when you post land you have to do it well, with LOTS of signs, and the signs need to be good quality (not garage sale/for sale type) or you'll be re-posting every year. And you're correct - your probobly going to have to run a patrol to enforce your wishes.

Be prepared to call the right LE agencies (if that's the route you want to go) with their numbers in hand and cell phone in hand while "on patrol".

If you think deer you shoot may run on to their properties and they won't let you recover it.............you have 700 acres to hunt all yourself? There should be alternative stand locations.

Word of advice on "patrol" techniques. Good binoculars. I wish you luck this season.
