Huh, maybe a 'windstorm' will come up and drop a small tree across the road, just big enough for vehicles to have to slow down right in the FOV of the camera?

Great detective work. I think I might be inclined to dig a foot deep ditch about 2' wide across the road and cover it up with sticks and leaves. Then post a sign on a nearby tree for a towing service that is actually your local conservation officer's phone #.

JohnBud,
A couple questions and comments...Don't you have the roads gated or cabled? How did the truck get in? If he went around a gate...then it's time to get the tractor out and mound up some dirt mounds. Where I hunt, we try to keep the gates shut all the time and park the hunting vehicles so they can't be seen from the main road. I have noticed that many people leave their gates open when they are in the woods hunting and that's a dead giveaway to the trespassers the landowners/leasees are there. In that instance, when the gate is shut...the coast is clear to trespass. 4 wheelers are a real problem around here with the trespassing. And lately, there have been a lot of thefts at the hunt clubs. Big items like tractors and such. Trespassing mean thefts later in time, so you need to be vigilant with your land and nip it in the bud.

If you are looking for IR cameras be sure to check on the IR part, I've heard some still show a red light when taking. The batteries are supposed to last longer on an IR because there is no flash. I still can't afford an IR. I have a few moultrie gamespy 2.0..flash model. The first one got terrible battery life..it broke. The new ones are doing mich better. On my oldest of the 3 that work..2.5 years old, the flash went out. I'm going to try and replace it with the flash off the broken unit after the season. Still not a bad camera for $85.

Still not a bad camera for $85.I have to travel a bit over a mile to get to my property across lumber company land. This summer I was able to finalize the deal for a deeded easement for mucho dollars. (Like ouch big). I had put a cable across it in the past, but it vanished. Gates are spendy and I didn't want to have that vanish too. I expect that there will be some vandalism from this. These types make the Hatfields and McCoys look like church elders.

On the just thinking line:
Wonder if a sign that read, Trespassers are recorded and prosecuted. If you wish legal access call (phone number) for permission.
As to the fallen tree, it really would be bad if it happened while they are in the woods if only one way in and out. As to the ditch, needed to drain part of a field and went to talk with neighbor on it. Please dig the ditch and make it large enough that so and so will not drive across my land. OK. It worked. Ditches serve many purposes. Traffic control being one. Also most crooks want more than one way in and out. Depending on what you are after in digging a ditch there is benefit to leaving the dirt in piles so the ditch is easy to be noticed or being haul off or level so the ditch is not noticed until shall I say right on it. Headlights don't pick up holes in the ground that well. Then you need them deep and narrow enough 4 wheelers can not handle them.
Surveyors can set me off also. Have had them leave all kinds trash on my land when working on the next track. Have told two different ones, you need to be glad I found your nails, cans, stacks and such before a machine did or you would be paying. One told me the law gave his the right to trespass to which he may be right but doubt it, but when I brought up potential combine damage due to the trash (drove stakes in my soybeans just before time to harvest) he did not laugh so much.
No doubt this law varies but if you don't gate any private roads here, they will become public if you are not careful. Here you must gate and lock them at least one day per year to prove you have control of those roads.

How about logging debris? Depending on how it would affect you. You might benefit by talking with the DNR and finding out who the local DNR people are and if they have volunteers and could get them on short notice there? Also how does the lumber company control this for here most pay at least attention to that. Often they control it by hunting leases. If they do you may wish to contract with the same people. You can be right sure the lumber company is not getting ripped off.
I have heard of people lightly burying a board with nails in it. To me that is both dangerous and really asking for MAD people. Think a covered ditch across a road might hit the same nerve. Now a ditch across a road with a draw bridge?

I had a problem of 4wheelers on my remote land after I bought it. Caught a group out one day and they said they only ride on Sunday afternoons, I politely declined and for the next 3 Sunday afternoons I had some intense target shooting sessions that I am quite sure echoed through the area for many, many acres.
Then I went to the sign store and had a 10 ' banner made that read " Notice, this land has been sold to an individual who enjoys long range, high power target shooting and doesn't want any accidents"
Hung that between trees over my road for several weeks. Never had any more visitors and the neighbors that live around me got real polite whenever we ran in to each other!

Nails, moats, logging debris etc??? Sorry, aside from not being my style, those things will just lead to escalation and more issues even problems with the laws. I won't become what I am trying to eliminate.
I will try and have the road hunters barred by the courts from getting within xxxx yards (I would try for 1000!), have the courts confiscate the guns used during the commission of the crimes (road hunting), confiscate the truck used while committing said crime, try to get civil damages (law allows for $250-1100 per incident) and try to get the criminals hunting/fishing/trapping priveleges revoked for 5-10 years.
