Fences, dogs and here we can fire in the air and do.  And we find the worst 
folks are the hunters.  Those we run off before they get very far up our 
road.  We are lucky in that our road is private and the minute the come off 
the highway we can have them run in for trespassing.  Another deterient is 
that if they get hauled in for treaspassing, they end up an hour away and 
there is no public transportation except 9 to 5 weekdays and then only twice 
a day <g>  Of course, they could take a taxi but that would cost them over 
$100!
