Wise move John. It is one piece of a puzzle that only costs a few bucks. Take pictures of the "No Trespassing" sign close-up and far away in case the trespassers tear down the sign and then claim it was never there when the Sheriff is interviewing them one day.

A trespasser told a buddy of mine once...."hell these city slickers buy these properties and think they own them, but we been hunting and fishing here forever".....they dont seem to understand well yeah that's what private property is...you purchase land and it's yours....hello?


Fishing has never been about the fish....
