Like almost never... They aren't trespassing, hunters don't act like that. We are a team and we need full unfettered access to all public lands at all times for any and all reasons. We are America!
You know where I'm going with this... I'm sorry that you once again have to deal with trespassers who accidentally ignored your no trespassing signs and were just exercising their right to enter public lands. How many times a year would you guess hunters trespass on your property?

Rainier, sorry this is happening to you, people suck for sure. Unfortunately these kind of things ALWAYS come along with owning land.......anywhere.
Dennis, FWIW, there is a HUGE difference(most would say) between folks wanting to hop a corner, compared to the happenings at Rainiers place.

In my experience being in a similar situation it's not different. They do it (trespass) because they think they won't get caught and can just play stupid. So so many people play stupid and act like your being unreasonable when you confront them over this crap. I have repeatedly seen the same thing from people who get back onto a piece of public land that normally is inaccessible and suddenly they end up on private land. I have sat and watched people from a distance just to see if they will dare cross the property line, and more often than not, they get to the line, spend some time looking around for anyone who might see them, and then they cross the line and keep going, and when they get confronted they act like your the a-hole. Nothing anyone can type and post on the internet is going to convince me otherwise. Rainier10 knows its true also. It happens just as often as the guy who doesn't trespass. Quite possibly more trespassers than non trespassers most of the time.

Not justifying anything anyone is doing there, but I do think one of the contributing factors is that it once was open. I can’t tell you how many sheds I found there in the past, before shed hunting became a money sport. I think people get in their head their own entitlement of “ownership” of a spot. I went a canyon or two over last year on a fluke and was shocked at the amount of private property and loss of access. I just turned around and came home. Others, not so much……

Let me be upfront, I’m not saying anyone in this thread does this…
I see an incredible amount of instances in Idaho where private land owners abuse the public that’s adjacent to their land. The private guys that have turned the adjacent public into dirt bike tracks, gun ranges, and cattle grazing (actively in defiance of local law enforcement) is insane. Nothing more upsetting than having a hunt ruined by guys coming out to harass you because they think they own the public.
I grew up hunting the east coast were its only private, even the water (Virginia you can’t duck hunt within 500 yards of an established land owner blind. Miles and miles of river that are completely untouchable). Western folks definitely take their public land for granted in my opinion.
In the end it’s as simple as the old saying of do unto others. Don’t trespass on private property, don’t destroy or inhibit access to private. Easy day.
OutHouse:
That video is great but whatever you do, do not do that in WA. I know its ridiculous but you could be sued and they would win. And, your insurance will not cover the liability.

I wouldn't buy property surrounded by government owned land. They always advertise that land bordering government land is somehow better but I think having private around you would be better.
