RE: Non-res landowners
Hard to keep people out when you aren't there to watch it. Post it heavily with no trespassing signs is all you can do. The locals that know you live out of state will likely tromp through when you aren't looking. I have always had issues and I live here. Not so much the bowhunter but the party hunter shotgun deer crowd that seems to just run what ever they want and by the time the sheriff gets there they are gone. I would buy a farm or land that has a house on it so that you can rent it out and have your tenant keep an eye on it. That way somebody is always there and watching and you get a little return with rent $.
