Around here and possibly most other places as soon as people start getting on your land un-restricted the next thing is trash starts appearing and things disappear and fences get tore up and someone will try to chew you out for telling them to leave your land. :thumbsup:

Well, you guys do have that infamous Meth Lab problem out your way - wouldn't want one of those cropping up in my woods. Different scenario, I guess.
I've never had much of a problem with trash or riff-raff. Some stuff does get dumped - I did have to dispose of 20 tires when I bought my last piece of land, which sucks. I do occasionally find a drink cup or water bottles (they're the worst) - hunters are pretty good about policing themselves, ATV riders usually even better, "nature hikers" are absolutely the worst at leaving trash (danged hippies), and dirtbikers never litter. I hate hikers. Anyway, yes, I do have to police a small amount of other peoples trash, but that's just part of my service to society. Honestly though, I think I would have a bigger problem with that if my land was posted. More and more people do appreciate us "open use" landowners these days. Except those danged pretentious hikers, of course.

Maybe an alternative is Private road no parking. Violators will be towed.. As soon as you see a vehicle parked there have it towed out.. The trespassers aren't going to be happy to have to hoof it home and pay the extra expense of Impounds.. For me if I see a No Trespass sign I honor that.. That's just me being old fashioned I guess. By the way I know towing won't work in all situations.. Maybe a nudge over the hillside or into the ditch would be the answer then.

My FIL and I used to quail hunt all the time from the late 70's until just the last few years in NE Missouri. He is the kind of guy that knows everyone - or so it seams. We literally had thousands upon thousands of acres to hunt. Hardly would ever see a no trespassing sign. I would always ask him if we had permission to hunt whatever ground we happened to be on. His standard response was "well I asked him twenty years ago". Personally I think it was more - it is not posted - must be ok to hunt.
Missouri passed the purple paint law. Seemed like overnight, purple paint sprang up everywhere. FIL got to thinking he better start doing a bit more asking, instead of violating a posted mark. Quite a few people told FIL - no, for a variety of reasons. "The quail population was way down" (which was true - still is), "have a grandson who like to bird hunt", but he also heard that the "deer hunters was the reason the land got posted for". We heard several stories of cattle being mistaken for deer. Large bore holes in equipment left in the field. Gates left open, etc.
FIL has gotten so he can't hardly hunt, and you have to walk all day with a great dog and maybe see 2 coveys. His dog power - is nil, so we haven't went bird hunting for several years.
But I sure do miss those days of hunting. We might cross several landowners on a hunt, but we were never around the house or barns or equipment. I remember several times we found fence down or the cattle out - and the hunt got scrubbed to help the landowner get his cattle in, etc.
Sorry, kinda rambled on - reminiscing a bit. The New Hampshire posts made me think about the way it used to be around here. I guess my main distinction would be - if it is vacant ground - no cattle, I probably wouldn't care if others used it. But I sure wouldn't want anyone up around my buildings, equipment or other property.

This reminds me of a sign my grandpa put up on his property line:
No trespassing
Unless you can run across this property in 9.9 seconds.
Because the bull can do it in 10!
He said some people would ask him about it and he always pointed to his hereford bull in the field (which was a big bull) and they wouldn't say another word and walked away nervously. The funny thing is that bull was the laziest and tamest bull ever, I said the only way you could get that bull to run is if you had an all you can eat hay buffet, lol.
