I am glad I live in IA. People here aren't going to go to the trouble or risk to try to go through the woods with ski masks on searching for trail cameras or even risk their car licence plate being photographed by a camera that they did not no was there. Cameras can be hidden so easy that you could spend eternity walking through the woods trying to find them. Much easier to trespass on some other guys land that is too lazy to even post it IMO.

Hardcore,

Keep in mind that some people don't post their land and laziness has nothing to do with it.

Right. Let me restate that a tresspasser would more likely stay away from a surveillence posted property then a posted property. I think a lot of people have the mentality that if it isn't posted then they can go in. You have to post your property IMO or people will just go in at will. People that don't post their land are either too lazy to do it or don't care if people go in on their land enough to take the time to post it.

hardcore,

What is the law in Iowa? In Illinois, I believe that it is considered tresspassing to enter land without permission whether it is posted or not.
However, in the part of Illinois where my land is located, its somewhat of an unspoken rule that if your land is not posted, then you don't care (within limits) if people go on it.

Here in IA whether posted or not you are trespassing without permission.

I live in south central kansas and alot of the land in our county is being leased by out of state hunters who only hunt it once or twice a season(Mostly pheasant and quail). But my dad has been hunting on all the land around here for 40 years and He and i dont like to see these things happen. Non-res hunters haven't started buying the land around here but we would hate to see it happening in our area. I am also not a big fan of the small time outfitters in our county buying/leasing land. If you would just do your research or hang out in a local shop you could get the names of land owners and meet them and talk to them about hunting their land. I understand wanting to hunt private land, but i dont pay a thing for land and alot of the farmers who lease around here will let you hunt after their lease hunters have left(birds or deer).

Trespassers are scum. Anyone who trespasses on private property and hunts without the permission of the landowner deserves to permanently lose their right to hunt anywhere.

How about putting an add in the local paper for a retired guy(HE has permission to hunt only for gun season or whatever)to hunt the property as payment for watching over the place. Like do a twice daily drive around to look for parked vehicles and take down #s. Then have no set time for him to do a walk thru once or twice during weekday morn or evenings in areas that arent security cover(as to not pressure deer) but tell him to have no set way of doing things. then if he finds trespassers let him contact you or he could contact police. Think that would work? Maybe even just pay him and not give him hunting rights. Some older guys i know would love this. You could give him like a seasonal or monthly check for spending cash. I think hunting rights would be the way to go but for him only.
