I guess I'm not following the rest of you with the allowing bowhunters and muzzleloading hunters shoot here. I understand that hunters with permission and KNOW that there is a house with people and animals would likely do as they are asked and be just fine with things...what I don't get is how that is going to keep the others away.

The Real Hunters, described so well by Rapaire, will police the others to some extent. Believe me, this is true. Also, word travels fast among hunters. If a few trespassers get busted, it won't be long before most folks become aware of it.

If you think about it, you've got to consider how these trespassers find out about your land. I would think it would be by way of asking a "local." It could be someone at a nearby mom & pop grocery, for instance. If you were to develop a reputation for busting trespassers, the recommendations would quickly stop.

Other than the idea about the muzzle loaders and the bow hunters, I think the best idea so far has been the "crime scene" type barrier tape if used in conjunction with inviting those clubs to hunt on your land.
