Tresspassing neighbors

[Steppenwolfe]

Area is posted everywhere, cameras set up, suspicious movement on the cameras.... Sounds like the description of a prison. A self inflicted mental prison maybe?
As soon as you post your land, you just set a standard you have to stress about to maintain.
Around here there isn't much woods posted. We try to be civilized and share what's not really ours.

Really? So if I send a couple of guys over from Jersey to cook meth on what's not really yours , you're OK with that? Or a couple of my moonshine makin' buddies over to cook a little corn liquor, you're OK with that, too? And exactly where is around here?

Long ago I was told "If it isn't yours, it belongs to someone else."

More people need to understand that.

Based on looks I would guess he is a native English speaker. I'm sure that I will find out. I was told by a local farmer , back when I was buying the place, "if you have a pond stocked with fish your neighbors think it belongs to them". Seems like he was right.
To get to the area where his picture was taken he had to walk up the road past 4-5 no trespassing signs the walk around a gate with more no trespassing signs and a farm bureau-reward for trespasser info sign. Then down 300 yds of driveway, past my tractor to the pond.

What model is your game camera BTW.. I wouldn't mind having something that took great pics like that.

In Texas, my perimeter fence is my posting. Nothing else required.

I'm not sure of the model but my father in law has the same brand and it takes great photos. It was $70 at Ollie's.

I have 7 acres , 4 of it field that I recently bought . There is a development about 4 miles away . I was working on getting the house ready to rent during the week. There was a bunch of beer bottles back in the field . I knew something was up . So I get a call from a neighbor one night about some cars in the field . ( property is posted ) . I get there , there are about 8 young guys there drinking , had a nice little fire . I didnt want to confront them , so I called the fire dept , and the police . Lights flashing and sirens . The boys got ticketed for the fire , a summons for tresspassing , and their cars got towed . One boy out of 8 had the courage ( or was told to) to write me , apologise , and ask if there was anything he could to do to make things right . I commended him , told him he could get some trash bags and clean up their mess . This boy not only cleaned up the cans and bottles they put there , he picked up other stuff that was trash that was in the wood line . About a 20 yard can . I was impressed . i asked him where he worked , he didnt have a job. I made a phone call to a buddy of mine told him , he said " send the guy over " He got hired and is still working for the guy .

He most likely occupies and uses his land, so things like that won't happen. If you just own land to show how much of a big shot you are, what does it harm if somebody uses it so long as they respect it? The only thing the OP's "trespassers" left behind was pictures. My neighbor to the east and south has about 60 acres... I've been here since 2001 and have never seen them. (Their other adjacent landowner has been there 30+ years and never seen them.)
The only indirect contact I've had was when they tried to prevent the power company to run lines down the town road... " There's NO reason to have power down there," they said. I occasionally walk their land with a rifle or shotgun; what harm am I doing? I also would report any of the above mentioned nefarious activities to the Sheriff's department.

Up here we have 3.2 million contiguous acres of privately owned land, which anybody can use for hunting, camping, canoeing, hiking, snowsledding... pretty much any non consumptive use.

It really is a regional attitude...
