Again, it helps to know the laws in your state.
I understand the moral issue of not wandering onto someones property (I wouldn't without permission), however in some places (like mine) it has been common practice for generations....unless the land is posted. The people that hunt other peoples unposted land are not morally corrupt, they're just doing what they've done for years. The minute you post your land (around here anyway), they will stop.
I realize it's not as easy everywhere, but knowing your legal rights and liabilities as the landowner is the place to start....regardless where you are.

I know my legal rights, talk to my Lawyer and Insurance Company. In my State a sign is just a sign, nothing more. Now when we have the Sheriff out, its a different subject.
Edit: As I said, talking to the tresspasser is the first step. I remember telling one, "How would you like me to just come in your house and enter though the front door and walk though your house to the back door because its easier to get to my property?" Got my point across.
