Private property in or near shelton

Sorry guys , if it is not posted it is NOT trespassing. I just dealt with this issue with my land. I had a lady digging through a pile of stuff in my yard when i came home. She split when i got home. I called the cops and when they came out they asked her not to come back and told me that they could do nothing about it because my land was not posted. Now i have guns and signs.

As was stated earlier it does not have to be posted.
Sorry Sean...maybe it wasn't worth their time to charge the woman. 
I am a landowner with no house on the property and it is posted.....not every 300', but it is posted.
It is fenced and surely if someone were to cross a barbed wire fence they could safely assume the property doesn't belong to them.
As far as any type of law enforcement assistance. It's a little had to stop someone in the woods and say wait while I call the cops, wait for them to drive out and then hike for another hour to reach the so called violators. I have always told the few folks that I've run across that they do not have permission to be there and ask them to leave. I am confident that each of those people knew they weren't supposed to be there.

When you say that what do you mean? It's true a person does not have to post their property, but if it's not posted, fenced, cultivated, etc. then somebody on that property without your permission will not be charged with trespassing. So if you are trying to say that the property does not have to be posted in order to charge somebody with trespassing, well that is not true.

 Actually, Manke gates are not off limits to walk in traffic; whether it be for hunting, hiking, or photos. They're pretty good about that but leave them closed to vehicle traffic because of all the littering. I don't blame them. Every time I go in I usually bring out a large garbage bag full of trash left behind. The offenders appear to be the very people they let in to pick brush, thin trees, and the loggers themselves. Go fugure.
