Trespassing signs

[jveretto]

I am surprised that anyone has land not fenced. I wonder why? Where I lived, not fenced is an open invitation for ner do well types to make them selves at home.

You wonder why?
If you can figure out how to fence my mountain land at less than $500 a ft for probably half of it please let me know....
Since I also own the area's watering hole let me know how fences will keep idiots out but let wildlife come and go...:confused2:

Skyco has a good point. I spent a year fencing our place in. Our livestock is safe and no problems with trespassers. But it has totally turned the wildlife off. I'm not really sure if I'm happy with the tradeoff. I have never had any luck with signs. Fences and big dogs work perfectly but the wildlife will go away.

we have this problem here in upstate NY.big time. Signs did no good.. AND infact one day I caught a hunter in a tree stand and he told me he had permisssion from his great grandfather who had permission from the previous owner of the property and it was an eternity gentlemans agreement. LOL I ask him if his grandfather would like to pay my taxes he said he was dead .. lol then so is the agreement so one more time ' you are trespassing" oh and if that is not good enough for you look through the woods about 500 yards. There is our rifle range backstop.. he said he thought the rifle range signs were a joke.
We have not seen him for a while. I have trail cams out and also have painball grenades on trails near the rifle range as the ATVrs have ridden directly through our range lanes. NOT smart. I think the only thing that works is having a gun with you when you catch em .. just having it on the Rhino or Tractor they tend to wonder if your a nut case.. HAH>>> I am OK with that.

I am definitely interested in these "painball grenades." Could you fill us in? Sounds like they really put the hurt on 'em!

Here in Pa., that could get the landowner put behind bars.

Skyco and whistlepig both made valid points. Fencing will not solve the trespassing issue by itself. Fences and gates can be climbed. Even a locked chain on a gate poses no problem for determined trespassers. They will proceed to cut the chain and have even been known to cut fences to gain access. Constant vigilance does aid in curtailing the problem and aids in enforcement. But this is not always possible. There is no single simple solution. There are countless people in this World that have no respect for a person's property. Property that was obtained by hard work and sacrifice makes no difference to them.

Best one I have seen is " prayer is the best way to meet the lord" trespassing is faster"

One or two of these might also work well.
