How to handle people trespassing?

A rock? what fun is that? He shoulda broke out the shotgun and had him some skeet practice! I'd guess a nice #9 or #7 shot woulda done the trick!

I believe it was last week that Vermont Edition (local program on local NPR station) had a program on drones. Turns out that those things are registered with the FAA and it is ILLEGAL to shoot them down even if they are clearly over your property because they are in FAA airspace. http://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/drone-shooting-illegal/

I'm sure that will start a in a lot of your bellies as well it should.

We plan on speaking to the Grand parent today. We didn't know the child was here, we were gone. Until I checked the cameras. When we do get livestock and lgd we will have fencing that hopefully they can't get into. But I'm concerned about the Electric fence and possibly the our yard poison and axes and such other equipment. And I'd feel horrible if a child got electrocuted on my property. Is there like an insurance to help protect us. I've read of a child being mauled by a lgd. And they settled, but we couldn't possible pay a huge sum of money for someone to be hurt. Especially when their on our property. We also plan to put up more signs today. But I doubt a four year old will be able to read them. And we open carry so everyone around us knows we own guns.

You can buy both property and personal liability insurance. But I agree with others, it shouldn't be the property owner's responsibility if someone that was NOT INVITED to come on the property gets hurt if they tresspass. Just another way to make lawyers rich I guess.

Yeah, the drone thing is going to be a big problem as time goes on....they usually disappear here too, no one knows what happens to them....

I doubt my .44 mag and 300gr Hornady XTPs would reach from the outside of any of my pastures back to the house without 16-30" of drop, assuming they didn't just fall harmlessly into the pond, and I know it won't if I'm at church, the doctor's office, or at the feedstore.
(thieves don't usually pay a visit when anyone is home or wandering around close to the house)

Yeah, "moderator."

And I'm just kidding.

Well we are rarely gone...and if we are no longer than 2hrs...most of my time is spent outside piddling with one thing or another....keep an eye out for the animals and the neighbors place...they both work and are gone quite a bit...and we are so far back in the 'Sticks' there is very little traffic....mainly tractors and combines to and from fields and school buses....not a problem here too much...a pretty good situation...and Love it....

How does that old saying go....Good fences make good neighbors

This.

Around here we have fence out laws, not fence in. Though most fence in.

You have neighbors?--and school buses actually come by your place? I thought you lived in the 'sticks'?

Yep i forgot to mention that yesterday...you can get in serious trouble for shooting a drone, if it is a FAA registered one. They charge you like you shot a real plane down.

Here are drone rules for registration.

The small ones you can buy at Walmart or TSC shouldnt be covered by FAA but better safe then sorry. It's bull but i guess their logic is they dont want people shooting down the military drones or business drones.

That's another reason we used Non-Climb horse fence wire. It's practically impossible to get a toe hold in those itty-bitty 2"x4" holes. Of course, it's supposed to mean non-climb for horses.......but it works just as well for other animals too.....4 year olds included.

We also carry a farm insurance policy. It covers the farm as well as anything we sell from the farm, such as food items that someone could claim that made them sick.
