How hard is it to stop and ask? I get tired of turning people in for trespassing all the time. We even have signs posted all around our property, with phone numbers on them, and still they just think they can do whatever they please. I know not all hunters are like this, but we seem to have more than our share in my area. It's hardly safe to walk outside lately.

I live rurally too, and my sibling owns a ranch -- and yes, there are those who have the Hunting/Fishing Licenses (or not -- which is the majority of cases) who think they can walk or enter any property and do what they want to do -- which is why we have Security Systems on the buildings and at the entries.
DO call the police -- and DO take down any license plates of vehicles parked on or near your property when you see them that you have NOT invited onto your land.
DO Call the Fish/Wildlife Service as well -- I do keep a camera in my vehicle and on me at all times, and take photos of the trespasser, and call them with the information -- because Fish/Wildlife is the one department responsible for issuing the game permits. That way, you can rest assured that they will be looking at the permit process for that trespassing individual(s), and that their permits can be denied, pulled, and they can be subject to heavy fines for entering private property.

Call the game warden.
Here in ND hunting on posted land, can and has resulted in, loss of hunting privileges, loss of firearms, loss of vehicles. There was a case where a hunter followed a deer onto posted land after he shot it. He took his gun with him, it's legal to recover a animal that you shot and then went onto posted land and died, but you can't take your gun onto posted land. He lost his hunting privileges for five years and paid a fine. They took his truck and gun, he did get them back after the trial, but only because the land wasn't posted properly, the signs were too far apart. He got off easy.
Make sure your land is posted properly and report them. One or two going to jail and losing their hunting privileges for a few years might make the other think twice.
Good Luck.

Anyone that would wait for the biggest, dumbest animal in the region to walk by so they can blast it and still have the audacity to cal themselves "hunters" wont respect a sign indicating private property. You should hire a Hmong to hunt them down.

Just get a really loud stereo and just before light start playing some really annoying music and it will scare off the deer and they will leave. Or get a pack of fire crackers and through them into the woods.

Know what you mean. Fishermen even worse.
There are always a few bad eggs in everything.
They sometimes ruin it for everyone.
In every area of life, there are cheaters. They hurt all of us. We even end up paying for people who don't pay their bills.

Put a couple of traps right on the other side of your border.
