3 Proven Ways To Combat Trespassers On Hunting Land

I bought 85 acres and someone dumped tires on my land within the first week. I posted it and it helped but I ended up gating both entry points.

Caught some guys dumping on my land. They sped off but I got their plate number. It was cleaned up the next day.

[@3BrookOutdoors]

On one of my properties my neighbors claimed they owned my entire ridge top after I purchased. I am a local of the area and they were not. I knew the boundary lines of the entire township and every parcel in it. I had updated survey maps etc.. every year they would rip my signs down & drive their wheelers through my property. The state did nothing about this and claimed “they are too busy and not enough DEC officers to deal with it” Eventually- they attempted to take me to court.. sadly for them they had to survey their property and find out that I was indeed right and my survey was accurate. Being a landowner is the most rewarding feeling- but it sure does come with some headaches! lol

[@tylerkempfer750]

Hey! I was wondering, how did you control your anger over this in the time being? It sounds like a situation that would greatly infuriate most any man.

[@3BrookOutdoors]

@@tylerkempfer750 I was calm at first, tried showing them the maps and walking the lines. I could have been a great neighbor- but they burned that bridge for sure. There was certainly times where I was infuriated like you said; but going to war with them would have just created a bigger headache on myself, plus I was worried they would vandalize my camp and equipment (the minute I was away) if I smacked them around. It’s been a few years now and I haven’t had any issues with them since their own survey that they paid for proved me right. I guess the biggest takeaway is to try and remain calm- give your state authorities a chance to make it right (even though mine certainly didn’t).

[@219jello]

Survey is the boss

[@timhatfield6367]

In Indiana, you can mark with purple paint, and the problem is purple doesn't stand out. So we use signs and purple paint between them. Also we have old obsolete cams along with some decent cell cams. So we hang the old cams where they can be seen and use cell cams other places.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

[@jbas0729]

Cops here refused to charge people I caught. Said the cops had to give them a warning first despite the land being posted. They also said the trespasser may not have seen or been able to read the signs……that are posted roughly every 100’. Also went as far to tell me not to approach a trespasser. What I took from the cops was they will do nothing, I’m not allowed to do anything, and the trespasser has more rights on our land than we do.

@@adyingbreedofman9112 I’m all for people hunting…..ethically and legally. I also realize that land has become impossible to afford and everyone wants cash in hand for leases. Gone are the days of helping a farmer out in the summer and getting to hunt the fall. In many cases you are doing that farmer a massive favor protecting his crops and his bottom line. The problem is ethics and morals are gone. Entitlement is here to stay. Nobody believes in sweat equity. I was born and raised here and may be the last in line after my family being here 150+ years. The only real silver lining is that hunting in this area has become a thing of the past. We don’t have the trespassing issues that we once had but when we do…..I know now not to bother with the police.

Fighting with this right now. A habitual trespassing neighbor. Got on camera and turned him in. He was given a citation. Next morning somebody was in our woods and saw one of my guys and ran to the river, made a bunch of noise like throwing stuff in a boat, and took off up river. Called the C.O. and he found the same guy on public land with no orange on not far from a drainage ditch that connects to the same river the boat took off in. Had to be him again. Unbelievable. So now I run a camera at the only bridge he uses to access his land on our property line.

The number 3 got me, Pretty sure half the fence is the neighbors, so they wouldn't need permission and they can hunt the fence line right?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

They sure can...typically fences are owned by 1 party tho. Also, they can hunt the line...you can hunt the line...but also not a very smart spot to hunt when your neighbor has a road and access along the fence line 😉 Also there are many states where a neighbor can legally tell you that you can't cross the line to retrieve a wounded deer, which is another reason not to push the fence line...

[@jesserolli7711]

In my state, if there is a mile of fence you are responsible for half and the neighbor is responsible for the other half. My neighbors threw a fit because I put a blind up on are property line not to far from there blind, and they called me a fence line hunter. I told them I'm not hunting there because it's your property line, I hunt it because that's where the deer are and why would I hunt where the deer aren't? Lol! In my opinion it's actually safer hunting that way, back to back, that way your sending bullets into your own land, not possibly across into someone else's when Mr big goes running by. And I've been hunting alot of years, never to this day have I recovered a wounded 🦌, that's what I love about the deer hunting world, 10,000 ways to skin a 🐈

​@@jesserolli7711In most states, the fence has to be on a clear side of a line, owned by 1 person. Hunting property lines is a tough subject. Opinions vary wildly.

Yeah, prosecuting is basically the only way, and you'll get a reputation for it, and people will begin to stay away.

had someone walk onto our property a good 80 yards to pull the climbing sticks from a stand because they claimed we were hunting their property. You couldn't even see 80 yards in that spot. Dad walked the mile back, climbed to the top of the ridge, and no ladder to climb. Chewed the shit out of the neighbor and made them bring the climbing sticks to the cabin. They left them in their field 200 yards away and told us to go get them which we werent gonna do. Now dealing with them using on x to mark property lines, even going so far as to pull survey stakes out. They've been warned if we catch them doing it again, they are being reported. Have cameras on it now

[@bross63]

On X is not accurate regarding property lines it shows. I found two stands on our property, one at least 100 yards on our property, and I caught a hunter in that one. He told me On X said that was part of their lease. I showed him the accurate property lines and the very clear line of distinction between the pines and hardwoods (property to our north is 100% pine planting, we are 100% hardwoods on that part of our property). On X can be good for some things, but it should never be used to identify property lines/boundaries.

We had his face on cam, and he was carrying a Rem 700. This was 2 months before hunting season. Took the images to the Sheriff, who presented it to the county DA. He refused to prosecute because "You don't have ANY knowledge that that is a real gun and those are real bullets." How are we supposed to go the legal route if the DAs won't prosecute (or even investigate!) these stains on society?

Correct! At least inNH and Vt . The law specifies the spacing, and height. Supposed to be signed and dated and on their own posts. Not enforced however. If your land is in conservation easement you’re supposed to allow recreational use. Again not enforced. I’ve no problem with landowners posting their property but I do if they go hunting elsewhere while posting their own. My pet peeve is a jerk of a farmer who posts his property which is fine but he also posts all the land he hays along with adjoining woods just in case he feels like hunting there. Where I live there is very little public land and it’s implied consent so if it’s not posted it’s fine to hunt. So when someone posts large tracts of land for selfishness it bugs me.

Laws are different everywhere. I doubt you know more about it than he does where he is. There is no such thing anywhere as an illegal posted sign on your own property. Also, trespassing is 100% illegal in the vast majority of the US regardless of signs. The old ways died many decades ago.

It’s not your land it’s the state. You lease it from them which is why on the deed it says tenant. If you don’t pay your due taxes federally and state or even city you will lose said land

You should fire your attorney 😂 I suppose the state owns your car, your home and your boat....too? Well, your mom's car, home and boat

​@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751I don't believe this particular meth enthusiast has an attorney aside from a court-appointed criminal defense lawyer. I would not recommend that he fire that guy with this attitude.

​​​@@michealknight3776The legal definition of the word tenant is "one who holds or possesses property by any kind of right." That means that it can be correctly used to describe a lesee in a rental agreement OR the land owner on a title or deed. It does NOT mean that a property owner does not own his or her property. Nice try anyway, bud. You need to read more during your next incarceration. There's really no excuse not to.

​@@michealknight3776 Even if your absurd misunderstanding of the legal terms was correct, you still can't trespass. You can't walk into someone else's apartment and start taking food out of their fridge simply because they rent it. You can't hop into someone's car and drive off just because they lease it. Are you following me here???

Fourth step: hidden foot hold traps and pitfalls… no? Okay 😂

Sure fire way to combat trespassing , you only get one warning shot !

[@loneranger5349]

You can't own land

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Maybe you can't? But the rest of us can 😉

People do though so I guess you can

I'd bet you the deed to one of my properties that you can, but I guess you wouldn't be interested in that...

[@alanrawson-wg8io]

We refer to it as ownership but it is actually property of the state. You own rights to the property within the law until you sell said rights or fail to pay your taxes at which point the land reverts back to the state. But it will be transferred to a new”owner” asap because the state is not getting any taxes on it until it has a new “owner” of record to pay the (lease) tax payment. It’s semantics but that doesn’t mean it’s not true.

Bro im just tryna pay my rent this month

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

That has nothing to do with trespassing 😉

Buy a camper, no rent, save up. If you're trying to use "rent" as an excuse to trespass and steal from me you're going to find a lot of new problems. I'm trying to pay my bills AND raise my kids.
