Legally Posted Private Land /Poachers

What exactly does this entail? A written notice in the paper each week? Here is what I have re Hunter orange. TIA Dealing with neighbors who love to shoot down our shooting lanes despite having 1000’s of acres
Q: I'm confused about the hunter orange laws. What is required on wildlife management areas and on private land?
A: WMAs: All hunters on WMAs including bow and small game hunters,(EXCEPT) waterfowl hunters must display 400 square inches of hunters orange and wear a hunter orange cap during open gun season for deer. Quail and woodcock hunters as well as hunters participating during special dog seasons for rabbit and squirrel are required to wear at least a hunter orange cap. Non-hunters afield during hunting seasons are also encouraged to display hunter orange.
Private land: Any person hunting deer must display on his head, chest and/or back a total of not less than 400 square inches of hunter orange during the open deer gun season including muzzleloader season. Persons hunting on privately owned, legally posted land may wear a cap in lieu of 400 square inches.
NOTE: These provisions shall not apply to persons hunting deer from elevated stands on property that is privately owned and legally posted nor to deer hunters hunting with bows on legally posted lands where firearm hunting is not permitted by agreement of the landowner or lessee.

I’ve never worn orange on our land except to and from my stand.
It’s private property and I have several stands I can choose to hunt from.
If I’m hunting on the pipeline that runs thru our property I wear a orange hat (my stand is in a valley with a creek running they it) because my luck some dumbass that’s hunting a higher elevated section might shoot towards me and a hat on my head would be higher up and hopefully more visible from farther and higher away.

Careful baw.
50% of the posters in here turn into raging communists the second you start talking about keeping people (or their bullets) off of your land.
We paint a solid white line six feet off the ground on every single tree on the property line.

Understood except it’s for protection and safety of people hunting and walking from ground blinds.
Just curious as to the legal requirements needed so when they are caught, (and they will be) everything is in place to lock them up.
Paper postings, no trespassing signs that is what I’m curious about. Thanks

curious as to legal requirements in paper and anywhere else so when they are caught on video on our cameras WLF can take them in.

No requirement for posted signs, notification in news paper etc any more. Read the statue.
I’d say you should catch them and have already spoken to the sheriff or local green jeans. Use the pics as supporting evidence. I doubt they can or will prosecute on game cam pics/video alone. Think of it like you are building a case against these assholes.

In Louisiana it’s assumed all land you do not own or have written permission to be on is posted.
If they are there, they are trespassing. No matter their legal or non legal orange requirements.

MS also.
Now for liability reasons, it gets hairy. Poacher is injured on your place and files suit. There is no statute for how far apart and high off the ground they should be and the attorneys have run with it before.
