Folks are free to do what they want to do or do not want to do with their property. However, if folks want to come uninvited, I want it to be obvious to law enforcement (if and/or when I have to call them), that I did my best to make it very clear that people shouldn't come onto my property without my permission. I'm even going to do just like 30.06 and put the signs up in English and Spanish, so there won't be any confusion for the vast bulk of the population of our great state.
It was already fenced when I bought it --otherwise I probably wouldn't have fences up yet. There is no approach by road that isn't fenced and gated. You'd also have to push through lots of dense brush on foot to access it from a neighbor's property. And to get to it in a vehicle that isn't something like a tank, you have to enter a private road and pass through the cattle guards at two fences just to get to my gate. I've posted No Trespassing signs so that they are visible at every point around the fence perimeter. I've got 360 degree camera coverage around the residence and a camera looking down the long driveway to the entrance gate. I normally keep the gate locked --No Trespassing signs on the gate-- so to get a vehicle through you'd have to cut the chain or lock. If someone cuts the chain or climbs over my gate I'm not going to assume their intentions are benign. There is no way someone can "get lost" and innocently enter this property.
