I have signs posted no hunting, no trespassing and they still put up stands on my 43 acres. Even if you didn't have a sign what makes them think they can climb over the fence? If they shoot a deer running towards your property some think they have the right to pursue it onto your property. When the 911 person asked if you had signs posted does that make a difference for them to come onto your property with guns?

I've seen a Dog lying dead in front of a deer stand; someone shot a Cat that we took in as a stray with an arrow. We have one Cat with over thirty buck shot pellets in his back side. I can't wait until the shooting stops each year, people come from Chicago to the county with walking talkies now cell phones. I was on my property making sure there were no hunters and it was already dark in the evening, a hunter on the fence line said I was harassing him that’s when I saw the dog was shot. I looked at the dog and the hunter in the tree stand on my neighbor’s property that farms the field next to my property “said I better step over the line.”I could have taken that as a threat but with the 9mm in my pocket I let it go. I know the deer population is getting worse each year and we have the cars to prove it. My wife refuses to buy a new car because of the deer that she has had contact with, some hit the side of the fenders, and some hit the hood. Three cars with deer damage to prove it. My thoughts would be to tranquillize them to thin them out take the meat to nursing homes. The guys that I see hunting with their new trucks do not seem like they are lacking for food when I see what it cost to get prepared to hunt.
If they stay on designated property do not shoot in the direction of homes or animals then do it right with respect.
