I'd be posting the area if it were my land. Let law enforcement do the dirty work when you see trespassers. Try to get good descriptions as its when they come out of the woods they will be confronted.

I don't recommend confronting hunters - given that 6 people were murdered and two others wounded in WI when they got on a guys case on private property and it escalated to they being killed over it. Who did or said what to whom doesn’t matter at the funeral. Hunting confrontations are not new – but they are getting more frequently deadly.

 

Honestly , I don't mind if they tresspass . It is all a bunch of locals down there anyway . I am just not wanting to upset anyone by being somewhere they may think I ought not be .

I'm not sure what I am going to do , just wanting some input from you guys .

Screw them. It's your land to camp on, not theirs. If they think you're not supposed to be there I'm sure they'll have a different opinion when they find out taht you own the land.

 

I would go and make it very obvious that I was there. It's your property, you should be able to use it when ever you want.

 

I say go, just practice yelling "I'm not a deer" for those early morning potty needs.

 

I agree 100% I'm a hunter too and I would never go hunt near an atv trail. That's just lazy too. Not that we actually have very many atv trails around here, but that would be like kids playing in the street and complaining about traffic.

We were riding a trail a few weeks ago and someone had put up a sign (Homemade, didn't look very official.) saying that the trail will be closed for hunting season. A fish and game guy showed up and we asked him about it. Apparentely, whoever posted that did not have the authority to do so. He immediately went to investigate and remove the signs. We have such few places to ride that it would be ridiculous to close trails for hunting season when there's literally millions of places to hunt that are not in the vicinity of an atv trail.

Good idea to wear orange though as you can never be too careful.

Hey Rick, it's your land. If you want to wear that santa costume while dancing around a campfire cranking Bette Midler and pumping your crank like a 12 gauge shotgun you can. If anybody has a problem, tell them you're the landowner and if they ever want to hunt there again quit bitchen.
