Just like seekanddest said. You can also be trespassed by a person with standing who tells you not to return to a location.
For instance, after someone gets caught shoplifting a store manager will usually tell them, in front of the police, not to return. That person has now been trespassed by the establishment and can be arrested if they return.
Most trespassing laws concern themself with whether or not a person was in violation of what a reasonable person would indicate was a barrier to entry. For example, if you cut across your neighbors yard, in the middle of the day, to go to the corner no police officer would arrest you as there is a reasonable expectation that people will walk across grass yards. If you hop a fence to go pool hopping at 1 a.m. expect charges for trespassing.

any time you enter upon the private property of a complaining victim you can be prosecuted. the difference is in the degree of the crime. generally trespass in the first degree is when you have been given prior notice to leave and refuse, or if a sign is posted. trespass in the second degree is punishable anytime you trespass and the usual sentence is only a small fine.

Upon entering a private property and the owner files the complaint, you can already be charged of trespassing because it is punishable under the law.

This is a it just depends This is a state crime and each and every state has thier own laws written.
So what it takes to break itin one state will be different in another state.
Also in some areas ( such as GA) the criminal trespass is also the name of a charge for damage to property of others also

Any time at all, though it will normally only result in a small fine (unless you cause any damage or have been charged multiple times).

That would have to be after you dodge a few bullets from the
land owner and let the police rescue you from someone who
has EVERY RIGHT to shoot anyone brave enough to trespass
on their property.

The very second you set foot on private property without permission or if you are asked to leave and you refuse.
