Trespassing signs

Looks like he already has someone up the tree...

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

It was a joke, Don. Settle down now. It's not like I'm coming after your fish.


I was calling attention to "painball." I'm sure he meant, "paintball."

One or two of these might also work well.

You probably should post a bilingual version.

We used to get a lot of looky-loos up our well marked neighborhood "Private Road" who said they were looking for roads into the National Forrest. Other signs along the road stated "Patrolled by Private Security" (us) and "Road Unsafe in all Seasons". They would turn into residents driveways, park, get out and take pictures of the lake from their front yards. The gate we put across the road was winched out once or twice but they finally got the message. We don't get too many folks on foot on our property as it is uphill from the road. Not too many people want to sweat when they are trespassing. :laughing:

Another reason for No Trespassing signs: A friend of a neighbor lost their property in a lawsuit. Some kids were "playing" on their property while they were gone and got hurt. The kids parents sued them and they lost the property. It was decided it was the owners were liable because they did not have No trespassing signs on their property.
More signs of people (parents) not taking responsibility for their own actions and blaming others when things happen.

I hear these stories all the time.... but basic homeowners insurance prevents these issues from happening. For as little as $150/year i have a $2,000,000 umbrella policy to protect my assets.

I used to be dumb enough to take guns from tresspassers. I used to have a pile of junk .22's and single shot shotguns. I used to tell them to come back with the warden to get the gun back. None ever did. Wouldn't do that these days. I did see a sign that said " Smile, Your'e on Trail Camera. Anyway. Most tresspass laws suck. WHere I live it's only a $50.00 fine if you could even catch someone. They run like **** when I come after them. It takes the Law about 8 hrs to investigate a crime that only pays $50.00. They don't bother.

To complement my signage, I would like to put together a paint spray-can booby trap that sprays a line along an ATV (and operator's leg) at about 18"-24" high. Place it in a narrow access point with either a mechanical buried pressure trigger or an electric eye (or maybe sound-activated trigger?). A nice orange enamel line along their expensive machines and riding togs would be fair payback for ignoring my signs.

That and it would be easy to find them. :laughing::thumbsup:

 

[Car Doc]

I understand your aggravation!

I now have signs everywhere so there is no excuses they didn't see them and a 6' privacy fence is what I had to do recently at my garden property next door to keep the horseback folks and the "looking for an out in the country" rent house (mostly druggy/low life's) type people off.

Now my tax's will probably go up and its harder for us to get in and out but the law says they cant do anything unless there is signs all over the place and there is the difficulty of getting around some sort of barrier.

I was raised different= I stayed off places we didn't own or didn't have permission to be at period, still do and always will be that way and expect to be treated the same.

 

[Short Game]

Would those paint cans rattle before they strike?

Goin out tomorrow to put up no trespassing signs. So tired of running folks off of our place. Growing up I would never have gone on someone elses property without permission. Now it seems it is perfectly ok to do so. I will eventually fence, but man is that gonna be an expensive ordeal. Venting is now over!

Why? Everybody uses each others land here in NH, except for the out of state transplants coming in with that city folk "MINE! MINE!" attitude, and their screwing up the trail systems with their 'no trespassing' signs.

I own a couple of mid-sized properties (200ac and 300ac), and I welcome people to trounce all over it. Hunt, ride OHRVs, hike, bike, whatever is your pleasure. The more the merrier.

Yea - gawd knows that those rogue ATVs are destroying you're ability to enjoy your property by keeping the trails open. The nerve of them to think that they can enjoy themselves by crossing your property. I mean, its YOURS!!!!!

Nope. New Hampshire law specifically insulates me from people who are recreating on my land. I am only liable if I make a booby-trap. That's also why the additional liability insurance to cover the land costs zero. Zero.

OTOH, if my land is posted, and someone is trespassing and they get injured, the owner CAN potentially be found liable, since they aren't insulated by 'open to recreation' laws. Posting land actually INCREASES owner liability. Ironic, isn't it?

what a weird state you reside in :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

I think that set up is more common than you think. Posting generally does NOT affect your level of liability, and in some cases makes it worse. The posting/liability myth is far-reaching.

20 years ago, I could ride the woods from MA to Canada and not see a single No Trespassing sign. Now there is more land posted than not. Laws haven't changed, people have just become more selfish and greedy. I, for one, am disgusted. I am also performing a public service and making the world a better place by providing almost a square mile of recreational terrain for public use on my dime.

Here in Idaho the Insurance Co made me post my land even after the fence was installed.

I ALSO do not want dirt bikes and snow mobiles ruining my nice quiet land. I do have 2 gates with padlocks and some neighbors have the combination so they can enter at their pleasure....but only them.

I'M ????? selfish because I don't want other people and their #*$@!& ATV's and Dirt bikes wrecking our property and the private road/driveway I have to maintain. When I sit on MY porch I really don't want to hear the very noisy ATV's and Dirt bikes trespassing on mine or my neighbors property, who also don't want them around. Glad you are happy performing a public service. :confused2::confused2: :ashamed:
