Is this the solution..?
More signs...
I own land that joins a public WMA in SC.
I decided to protect MY land to give the animals (and me) a safe refuge dur=
ing hunting season.
I had an assessment done by the state to ensure I provide all needed food, =
water, cover, etc... and then listed it as PROTECTED with the SC DNR, Audub=
on Society, International Audubon Society, Five Star wildlife management as=
sociation, Habitat for wildlife, and others, I even had the high power righ=
t of way designated as protected by the Power for Wildlife program.

To get to the point,
Each organization provided me with special "SIGNS" to post saying this is a=
 "PROTECTED / WILDLIFE AREA".
The result was hunters thinking this meant that my land was OPEN for PUBLIC=
 hunting.
Many only read the WILDLIFE AREA and ignored the PROTECTED part of the sign=
s.
Some ATV owner/hunters even built a NEW road thru the woods to gain access =
to my property.

I hate (NO TRESPASSING) signs but have had to place them near the other sig=
ns.
The hunters DID notice the NO TRESSPASSING signs... they have torn them dow=
n several times now.

  >>Still, the accident is prompting hunters and hikers to call for
  additional measures to help safeguard the 4 million people who use the
  Appalachian Trail annually.

  Coleman said the Forest Service will consider posting more signs on the
  trail to warn people to watch out for hunters. The service may also
  post hunting seasons, she said.<<
