Reply to comment by Meow_Meow_4_Life in Balancing trespassers with being neighborly by c_l_who

No trespassing, hunting, fishing, trapping, etc. Yellow plastic Posted signs set as specified by the state, signed and dated, registered with the town.

No permission will be given to anyone who isn't family or friend.

Cellular cameras installed in key areas, backed up with WiFi cameras.

Sounds like overkill but in the 2 months I've owned the land I've seen dozens of guys on my land with rifles.

This helps and makes sense. How did you handle seeing a guy walking around your property/house with a rifle?

I just bought the land so these guys probably don't know that there are new owners. I saw them on game cameras and the land isn't posted yet.

If I saw guys with rifles on my land AFTER posting I'd try to get vehicle tags, then report them. If I can't find a vehicle I would approach them, ask if they saw the signs, and then tell them that they are trespassing. All with a concealed sidearm ready to go.

Yeah tradition is my trashy neighbor getting hammered in the woods with a gun. “Hunting” he calls it. No thanks. His son yelled at an old lady this year ON HER OWN PROPERTY for being in the woods during rifle season. People are huge fucking assholes man, can’t blame folks for not wanting that on their land

Yup. A lot of drunk asshole rednecks. I don't want them on my land.

Yeah, born and raised here in VT. And because I know the woods and the type of people that abuse property rights, you bet your ass that I'm posting aggressively.

I don't give a flying F if they've hunted there for generations. I worked my ass off to buy that land and things change.

Attitudes like yours are why VT is having a problem attracting people to live here.

So I guess I'll go back to Killington?...jackass

I get where you're coming from, I'm a native Vermonter myself but if I had land I would certainly post it. But I would give permission to a select few that asked to use the land.
