Well I used to call the law if anything had be damaged or entry forced. The sheriff we used to have was pretty good about getting someone out. The new one not so much. So your left to enforce your rights to your land yourself. I try to be polite as possible but it sure is hard at times. If they are hunting or fishing and have game with them I can usually get the game warden out pretty fast. They like the BIG fines they collect so their service is pretty fast. LOL

About 15 years ago I bulldozed all the pond damns out on my land. I got tired of providing "free" fishing for every Tom, Dick an Harry that would walk to them. Also my insurance agent told me I could be liable if they got hurt on my land. I rebuilt a pond that is on the property line with the neighboring farm,last year. You can not see this pond from any public road or any of the neighbors drive ways or homes. Guess what??? You can see it on Google. So I have caught people two different times fishing there. The first time the two fellows had fish with them. One of them had an ID tag where I had it put in the pond. Game warden wrote them right up and it cost them some serious money in fines. The second time it was a whole family that I knew that had walked in. IF they had ASKED I would have let them in but since they did not I just asked them to leave and not come back. I was not going to make a butt of myself in front of their kids.

All the ground is posted no hunting and no fishing. It only slows down the honest ones the others just use the signs as target practice. I bring the cows up to the pastures close to the house for the two weeks of deer season here as the fools shot cows here every few years. Then myself and my sons try to be around the farm in the early mornings so we can stop them before they get started.

It all is a big pain!!! I have a very low opinion of the hunters we have around here anymore. The coon hunters cut my fences so the dogs can get through. They all open gates or damage gates that are locked/chained. They love to drive around fields that are not fenced too. Had a nice hay field seeded two falls ago. We got plenty of rain the week before Deer season. I got a rutted up hay field for my TROPHY from deer season. I just disked the field under and started over the next spring.

So DO NOT ASKED to hunt at all. You had better know the family real well to asked to fish. Even then it is 50/50 on whether your going to get to go. I have paid for this land and I am not going to let people free load on it.
