if you wanna do it the right way just call the game warden. Let them handle it. It saves you much trouble and time. But you will def need some kind of proof to make it easier for everyone. So set up a trail cam somewhere or hideout and snap a few pics or something. Make sure you lock your trail cam to the tree caus if they do see it and then they try to take it caus their face is on there they wont be able to and they are screwed! haha. but showing your face around the property as much as you can even though it is a drain on your personal time, that's what you gotta do. I own two pieces of property and deal with people all the time sneaking on it. I try to go to my land as often as possible and it def helps a lot. I see them less and less. I like to just handle things myself, if I gotta set up some redneck traps or put nail boards on ground for the atv tires then that's what I gotta do. I don't like to cause harm or be a ******* but trespassing is just one thing that I cant stand. As a hunter and even as an quad rider I respect every piece of land I step foot on. But there is a point where even after arguing, fighting, setting traps, calling the game warden and all that mess, that you just gotta realize you will prob not be able to always keep people off your land. It sucks but ya know if someone wants to get in there, they will no matter what. I would say get your proof and get ahold of the game warden. smartest, easiest way to help slow the people down and maybe even get rid of them for good. just be prepared for maybe a little retaliation caus sometimes that's how it is. on my one property I have been arguing, fist fighting, and goin back and forth with the neighboring land owner for years. It has just become a routine anymore ha ha.and I always keep a tax map of my property on hand in my truck just to show anyone if you ever need to. good luck though.
