If this now becomes repetitive with the same people who now know you are trying to hunt, give us a call and we'll send an officer out. I always try to tell people to be careful approaching and addressing your frustration, you never know what may happen. We as sportsmen have to preserve what little we have in this state. If you can get a plate number from their vehicle or description of the person(s) it would be helpful. They won't like law enforcement showing up at their house to address the issue. It sounds like you have enough signage, just arrogant people. Hopefully they got the message to keep out. Good luck.
Thanks Sergeant Williams for the response I just happened to see it. So far so good with the cams and the new signs. No pics or tracks seen since I ran into that guy. I will keep local pd and deep contacts in my phone from now on. One other question I had is how do I keep a trespasser either on the property or around the property until I have a officer respond? I know I can't physically do so and I feel like if I followed the trespasser it could possibly be considered harassment on my part? Kind of a fine line to walk in that situation I guess.

I would stick with a good description, clothes, approximate height and weight, hair color etc. and possible direction of travel once they leave you property. This will save the responding officer time when they get there trying to locate them. If you can determine where they parked even better. Following them could turn against you, unlikely but you never know in these days what people are going to do. Sounds like things are working out for you so far. Hope it stays that way.
