People learn by example. Apparently those you encountered learned trespassing "wasn't a big deal" from someone else. Maybe if they learned the hard way that it is a big deal and isn't acceptable or legal, they wouldn't do it again or…have even done it in the first place.

walfur,

You should invite some of us to get an Idaho cow tag and help you with your problem. I'd love to put one in the freezer.

I'll come help fix fence if I can shoot a cow Elk, dead serious. If we can make a plan for next year I'll bring my fencing pliers and stretcher and you can just point me in the direction you want mended.

Hunting w/o permission can be charged on 1st offense.

Trespassing cannot be charged on 1st offense unless one of three circumstances exist: 1) person causes owners $500 or more in damages or loss while there, 2) person refuses to leave when told by authorities, or 3) person returns after being advised by authorities not to.

Are those laws still in effect? When we caught trespassers a couple of years ago, we charged them with everything we could and I could’ve swore trespassing was one of them. I know they both paid a pretty hefty fine even after their “daddy” said he’d have his lawyers in court to fight it. These were 20+ year olds, not technically kids.
The GW was very thorough in his investigation, even though we had cell cam pics of them crossing the posted gate.

Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

I was on the other end once. Got permission to coonhunt a new spot. The owner lived four or five miles away. Followed the directions given, pulled into the field, and dropped the dogs. About five minutes after that a pickup comes flying in and a guy gets out wanting to know what we're doing on his property. Long story short, we were on the wrong side of the fence line. Two approaches about twenty feet apart. Caught up the dogs and left.

You were wrong.
Once you saw their tracks all over the place, you shoulda just went back to your truck to get your rifle, nestle into a secure hidey hole, and begun some rapid fire target practice (into a safe direction of course). Nothing rattles a belligerent trespasser than a bunch of purposeful high-powered rifle shots nearby.
No real need to talk to anyone. All a trespasser is going to do is lie to you anyway,
