my thoughts exactley, we've had to much trouble on our properties lately and im just to the point I go zero to dickhead when i see people where they shouldnt be, works pretty good though once they think your a crazy s.o.b. they stay the hell away from your place

Put posted signs up and confront them the first time you have the chance. Give them a warning, if you see them again on your land call the DNR officer for your area or the cops and press charges.

Yeah I know, I know, I know. You were just joking, right?

As I got down the road a bit and came to a stop sign, I noticed a dust cloud coming up behind me stirred up by a speeding pickup. Out runs a guy(who I recognize) and he's YELLING at me asking me WTF I'm doing there?!!!
He said "I was about to shoot you!"
I told him I had permission to be there. No one had told him that and he let me be.
Yah never know.

Snipe,
Stuff like that happens a lot. My dad was once standing about 50 feet within the clearly defined boundary of his lease and had the son of a neighboring land owner tell him that he was trespassing and he had 20 minutes to get out of there. My dad told him that it was his lease and he because he had been a smart mouthed punk instead of approaching him with some respect and tact he wasnt even gonna give the kid two minutes to get out of there. I've currently got a tree stand a couple feet inside my boundary line and a Posted sign that a neighboring land owner nailed to a tree about 10 feet within my boundaries.
Dunno how many of my friends and neighbors thought that because their family owned property that no one else had any business being there, but they turned out to be wrong. So, folks do get confused sometimes.
