Cost effective road gates

Tomorrow I close on 200 acres in SE Mississippi, with 2 sides exposed to Desoto National Forest logging roads. The prior owners didnt lease it to hunters; so "If no one's hunting it, everyone's hunting it" seems to have applied. (I saw tire tracks and several corn cob piles while viewing the property).
What is the best/cheapest gate to put on the eastern and southern woods roads. The other sides join farms or private lands that don't concern me.

Pipe gates. The kind that hide guinea wasps up in the pipes.

If you are an out-of-town land owner, they are going to hunt it. If you have an outbldg., Things will get stolen out of it. I am just base'ing this on history. Absent owners, or club lease members, it is going to occur.
Some will get dropped off so no truck is parked.
The only way is to use real time cellular trail cameras and call the law, over and over and over again.

The cheapest thing to do is run a cable or chain across the road. Hand a sign or ribbons on it so people can see it.

Or drill a hole thru a plastic barrel and pass the cable thru it and leave the barrel sitting in the road.

I did 2 chain link style fence post. Drilled eye bolts in them. Dropped rebar and concrete down them. Then attached chain across the road. I also have cell cams up. You’re going to have trespassers, but they eventually get the idea.

I’ve had to put these concrete lego blocks to keep the immigrants off a property that comes off the interstate.
Never seen so much trash and disregard for a property.
They will just cut chains. You know they have the equipment to do it.

I bought the place today. $1000/acre for 6 year old timber.
Debating between the chain and a pipe gate. There are thousands of acres of public land nearby, so I just want to discourage them from using this land that has seemed "open" for years.
There is power at one corner by the gravel road, so I'll probably drop a line to a conex and make that a secure camp at first.
I know no camp is completely theft proof.

Are you saying make friends with the worst peckerwood so he doesn't target my place? Or make friends with the dude all the peckerwoods hate?
