Sure, but do they have enough hair on their arses to weave 12 Indian blankets?

Try and explain your property rights to that miscreant.
I'm sure he will listen to reason.

The bigger challenge will be explaining that the cheese sticks and mini sausage in my pocket is for the dogs not him/her.....

Hopefully your trespasser will run into that big boy while he's taking a leak.

Now, that's one I'd recommend shooting.

Similar laws in Wa, basically there has to be no way for them to get onto the place where they are without seeing a sign or ducking a fence. Life becomes hard for them if they refuse to leave when asked. Those are the rules for trespass, poaching I think has a completely different set of laws, however from what I can tell until they kill, it is actually only trespassing....

That said, not a good idea walking around trespassing with a deadly weapon in the ready position unless you want to be greeted by the owner accordingly.

According to the WDFW hunting pamphlet land owners Do NOT have to post there land for it to be trespassing. In Klickitate co. Land owners are notorious for not posting there land you almost have to have a gps map defining public and private to hunt there. In my younger days I got chased out of a couple of areas because I unknowing I was trespassing. I have also knocked on doors asking for permission some agreed some didn't the really good areas wanted a trespass fee of 500-1000.00 and I think that ok too.

this is correct, it is trespassing even if there are no signs or fence, however if you want to charge them with trespassing you, as the land owner have to remove any doubt that they knew they were trespassing. If there is any way for the trespasser to claim they did not know, your only recourse is to ask them to leave. If they do not leave then you can charge them, assuming you can get a cop out there in time to catch them while on your property.

Sadly you can not force them to stay and get charged, if they leave there is nothing you can do about it.

I didn't know that good info. Even though you should be able to charge them with trespassing Kinda doesn't make sense does it its trespassing but we can't charge them because you didn't post it. Go figure!!!

It's unfortunate when a landowner's truck suddenly breaks-down and won't start when its parked right behind a tresspasser's truck, car, or OHV; preventing them from driving away....hopefully, the disabled vehicle can be moved as soon as possible.
