Personally I kind of like the chipper idea
. Well kind of, it would be great if it was legal
. I have 54 acres of land that I live on (and own) even with that I sometimes have problems. Normally its kids and I don't come down hard on them. Just chew their butts and send them packing. I have caught two adults that had previously been advised to stay off my property. One was settled on the scene when I caught him poaching,I couldn't run the other one down.Too old and to fat
. But I did let the Sheriff visit with him and he agreed to settle out of court. Trespassing here in Idaho causes an automatic revocation of Hunting and Fishing license for a year. Having said this I have a few words for you. Trail camera's are not cheap.They are however, very easy to steal
. I would possibly think about placing them high enough that a ladder is required to access them. Possibly use a steel pipe large enough to place a bar through to make it impossible to remove the camera. Depending on the laws in your area it is completely plausible that if you confront the individual forcefully, you may face legal action against you. Make sure you have the property legally posted. Here we have to have a posted sign every 600 feet and at each entry way into the property. Which ever way you go I wish you the best of luck. catfish
