As I have posted before, I live out in the sticks. Our home sits smack dab in the center of about 30 acres...half field, half woods. Each year we place Posted signs around the perimeter of the property...NO HUNTING NO FISHING NO TRESPASSING. Each year it seems that we find folks on our land, last year one guy was standing beside our back barn....50 feet away from some of the dogs! My first instinct is to yell to them that the land is posted. One year there was a guy in our field not far from the house. I happened to be leaving and he was about 1/4mile down in the field. I stopped the car and looked at him. He turned around, looked at me and then went back to his hunting. I, in turn, sounded the horn for about 15 seconds in hopes to get his attention and to scare away any deer. I got out of the car and waited while he walked back through the field to me. I shouted, THIS FIELD IS POSTED....NO HUNTING. He apologized and said he didn't see the sign....the one that was directly in front of his parked truck!!!
Afterwards I was thinking to myself that what I had done was pretty damn stupid...screaming at a man with a gun...yeah...BRILLIANT. So...my question to you is, how would you handle someone on your posted land that is clearly hunting? Sometimes within 500ft of your home or animals? Calling the police is an option although they seldom will come for such a thing. Calling the game warden is an option too, but considering they number less than 6 for an entire county known for it's hunting...well...they are usually swamped and don't have time for this kind of thing either. Any suggestions? I have threatened to hook up my violin to an amp and play all day...outside. Course...that might get me shot too..LOL.
