People are such pains in the @ss, its incredible the trouble started by this nonsense. I agree, let out some line, carefully place some well hidden cameras and see what turns up, see who if anyone can be ID'd, why not bait the place with items easily stolen, act oblivious to what is going on, let it cool off, make sure to have some tracking devices carefully hidden on all items or use a similar method if at all possible, these fools are likely not thinking in this direction, thats where you nail them.
One thing is for sure you have to outsmart them. I think butting heads, confrontation, etc. just escalates the matter. I can understand the situation given you have been there quite some time, atv'rs disturbing the hunting and all the rest.
Same crap wants to happen here often enough to have to deal with it, but for the most part, if I stay on top of it, its minimized like it is right now, as I've got one more persistent jerk to catch judging by tire tread patterns. The sleds came in with the snow, but had to turn back as I did fence right across the powerlines on each side of a gate they use, and along with thick briars/prickers/ rambling rose, or what have you is growing and I piled a bunch I had pulled, really nasty stuff, so I've got them corralled, next thing is to slow them down, give me time to react, sooner or later the gauntlet will close in, may have to put a camera out, as I expected the fence to be cut, just another barrier and a way to document further aggression so when the time is right to make the call, I've got them. Thing is they do not realize they are being set up, I also legally use 1/4" steel angle iron cut to points welded on steel angle iron, ground to sharp points, rusted so you can't see them and use 2 legs to drive into the soil, lock in place, then camo them but good, a buddy came by and was helping with barbed wire, he could not find a one of these that were placed, he looked intently too. One atv came through before the fence was up, right over these spikes, they sure make short work of tires.
People are just annoying pains in the @ss about this, so just play the game, think of means or methods to get a desired result, outsmart them, they won't expect it, just don't project your moves or all of a sudden get all quiet, just let out some line, then use the element of suprise. It can take a little time and you don't get instant results, but eventually, you may have them right where you want them, just like that well placed shot, sometimes you have to wait it out to get the result.
I'd slowly drive them into confined areas eventually over time if at all possible, easier to nail them later, confrontation though I do it, is just a waste of time. I'm always nice about it, politely asking them to leave, not come back, either the same people or someone else shows up again, and around here it is a security issue too, so I keep tabs on things for that reason alone.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
