Besides actually seeing the trespassers
the most obvious sign is unusual tire tracks on your property.
Other times it may be necessary to search for other signs
such as footprints, garbage and cigarette butts.
Most often trespassers will enter your property from a side
road. If you suspect that someone is on your property you
can take a drive down any side roads with access to your property
and look for suspicious cars parked on the side. Driving these
roads regularly will also help because then you will know
which cars should and should not be there.
Once a trespasser has already gotten onto your land the best
way to stop them from coming back is to take some pictures
or video of them. As soon as you suspect that you have a trespassing
problem begin to carry a camera on you at all times while
out on your property. Having some sort of photo or video evidence
will make it much easier for you to get the attention of your
local game warden or sheriff and have them put an end to the
trespassing.
If you do not already have "No Trespassing" sign
on your property it is advisable to do so. Furthermore, once
you feel you have a good idea of where the trespassers are
entering your property you can put signs up at that location.
Often, the simple act of letting the trespasser know you are
aware of their presence is enough to keep them away.
Ultimately, when confronted with a trespasser take care to
not lose your cool and allow the situation to escalate. It
is bad enough that they are already hunting on your property,
but starting an argument with them over it is not likely to
solve anything. |
