It will go through the court system and a judge will determine the
amount awarded to the land owner and then fine the individual
on top of that with possible jail time.

Thanks again Ray:
It would be nice to recieve some compensation for appearing in court as a complainant.Makes me think about offering to split the money,as a bounty,with anyone who assists in the apprension and prosecution of anyone who trespasses on my land.

Don K,

You just made the best case possible (apart from promoting hunting in general) for landowners to let at least a few responsible folks hunt on their land, especially if they aren;t around it too often.

Living in Louisiana all of my life I have been around poaching most of my life. It has been a way of life for many Louisianians for centurys. Up until about 10 years ago an owner had to have posted signs every 50 feet around the border of his property for it to be legally posted. It was also manditory for him to have a 3 strand bobbed wire fence. Our new law which I believe every state should adopt makes everyone hunting a piece of property have written permission from the owner or he is considered to be trespassing. It is also my understanding that if you are hunting on another person's land without permission it is considered as "Criminal Trespass" since you are armed with a weapon, much different from being on the land without a weapon. As soon as every state gets serious about this issue we will all be better off. I personally hunt 1000 acres of private property which part of it I never hunt because I know people are sneaking in and I'm not thrilled about not knowing what these people are capable of. Last year I had a Sheriff Deputy make me some Criminal Trespass signs with the laws and penalties and I hung them on a few stands I found before the season began. The stands were removed without incident. This was a much better idea than to just take the stands and have to worry about them trying to get back at us for taking their stuff.
