Default RE: If you found a stand on your own land?

This interesting, because I had a series of incidents this summer of trespassing on my property where they even went as far as to barricade (with a loose strand of barbed wire and fallen timber) an unimproved dirt road I use to get to the back of my property. They were using a large spreading tree as a location to set up rings on the ground made out of leaves and twigs. Some sort of satanic worship, maybe.

Anyway, outside of removing the barricade and destroying their ring, I did nothing. Why, you ask? Am I a coward? No, not really. I'm a former MArine so I think I can defeat any third world country single handedly (Marines can, can't they?), so I'm not personally afraid of them in the physical sense. My problem is that my house is on my property and not hard to find- it's at the other end of the dirt road the barricaded. My fear was that any further provocation would result in vandalism to my house while I spend my typical 10-11 hours away at work each day. Is this an unfounded fear? I don't know. I guess I would wonder a little bit about that when I was taking down the tree stand, BUT I WOULD TAKE IT DOWN since I would figure that an illegal hunter wouldn't be as totally unscrupolous as devil worshippers might be.
