RE: Dealing with trespassers in New York
I will probably befriend the local/state police in the area and invite some of them to hunt the property. I will also make sure to solidify my friendship with the neighbors that respect my land. I will however, do anything I can to catch the poaching *#@$&!s that ignore my posted signs and kill anything that walks.
It is the lack of respect that gets me. Some feel they are above the law. I totally disagree with the "this land is your land, this land is my land" hippie BS or the "locals have hunted it for generations" crap. I paid alot of money for my property and continue to pay taxes on it. I have a right to limit access to it however I please.
I don't yet have a hunting cabin on the land. I can only imagine what will happen to that if I don't take care of the problem now.
