Dru4, you've been around on the forum for a real long time, so I'm sure you've seen some of the lengthy discussions on the topic.
You should try and do a good estimation of how many loser individuals are trespassing on your land.
I'm an absentee owner, and I have a guy I pay $10/hour to watch over the place a bit. It's usually about $300 or so a month. He does run off people.
Last week I got a letter from him, and it seems a local church group has found my property to be an enjoyable place, even with the no trespass signs!!! So my caretaker went up there and let them know to not come on my property anymore.
At this point, I believe you can only reduce it, but never really eliminate it when you are absentee.
