I want to find the guy who hunts on land which he doesn't have permission to hunt on. I want to find his house, walk in the front door and sit down on his couch and watch some TV. When he comes home and asks me what the heck I am doing, I am just gonna say, hey the house wasn't posted...

PA needs to adopt more serious trespassing laws. They need to allow WCO's to enforce trespassing laws whether there are game laws being violated or not. In Virginia, trespassing on non posted land is a class 2 misdemeanor carrying up to 6 months in jail and a $1000 fine. Trespassing on posted land without written permission is a class 1 misdemeanor and carries up to a year in jail and a $2500 fine. Trespassing is still an issue, but nothing like it is in PA. Guys know they may actually face something more than a joke of a slap on the wrist!

You can't compare a person's home to a piece of ground. No where near the same.

We'll agree to disagree... But I am sure if I came to that same trespassers back yard, set up a lawn chair and started getting a sun tan, he'd be all the less happy. Private ground is private ground... Sign of no sign.

If you are going to post your ground, a good rule to follow is that there is no way for the person to enter your property without reasonably seeing a no trespassing sign. So, every 10 yards, 30 yards, you pick it, just make sure there isn't a gap big enough depending on the thickness of the woods where the signs are going up.
