OK but wouldn't the presence of 'NO TRESPASSING" signs cover the your not suppose to be there part?

Broadhopper if the 4X4 went through your lands and it contained wetlands that they went through it would be prosecutable by the F&G. Going through wetlands in any type of OHRV or 4X4 I believe is a crime.
When I've call the F&G about the 4x4 trucks and jeeps trashing the snowmobile trails here in Belmont they always told me if they can catch them playing in wetlands is when they really have a case.
