Well, I usually don't make a big deal of most if not all these kinds of situations, its relatively quiet around here, meaning if this is all I have to deal with, it could be lots worse and then some. I keep tabs on things as best I can. Sometimes, I just may not be able to get to someone, that for whatever reason decides to come through or is on the property, though I may hear them. I decide whether its worth pursuing, based on my chances of getting there to cut them off and deal with it. In the past I had no choice but to try every time and most of the time I caught up with the person or people, inform them its posted and all the rest. That was necessary and helped make it the way it is now. But, there's always new people at some point and that usually who I catch, someone new to the area or place.
I'm in my garage working on my new to me ford tractor, looking forward to getting some more of the small repairs I want done before I take it to the field. So, I've got the middle tin off, tools scattered about, lawn tractor behind it, some other things to move, the oil filter was off to work on the tachometer drive, so its not exactly ready to run.
I hear something below, (I'm on one hill, above our lower ground which is a small valley) I walk down and see this truck hung up on a berm that keeps my creek from flooding the road, just about teetering. I kind of lit into him a bit, and I never do that with trespassers, but was a bit annoyed with the interruption. So, a little steam is let off, they get the point, won't forget now as I explained the deal about land and trespassing. I then said, don't move, you'll just cause damage to the truck, I'll be back down in 20 minutes or so to pull you out. Whats funny, is the darned beaver made a dam just above this spot, 2nd time now, and its flooded. That's always where you'll get stuck, every time in the mud and water LOL !
Polite and apologetic couple, mid 20's, one is a long time friends niece, he's a state trooper, of course I can't prove that, but I have been irritated with name dropping when I catch people here, some have taken advantage of that. So, I only allow one person, another friend/neighbor on the other side of this large contiguous section of land permission to come through to visit a neighbor on this side. He's very respectful and another set of eyes out there, heck he came after me last year at night, I was out mowing, he wanted to see who it was and would have notified me about it.
New Holland/Ford 4630 with front wheel drive pulled it out in fwd, 1st gear at an idle! I took a short video as I drove LOL ! The guy wanted to pay me, I said your money is no good, just heed what I told you about trespassing without asking permission and all. Most, if not all I have dealt with have been very respectful thankfully, but you never know what the heck you'll run into just the same. He was joy riding with his girlfriend, got hung up is all, so in the end I did the right thing, and will do the same unless someone is a jerk, and its not harmless. Now I've got to deal with that pesky beaver, just never ends does it LOL !
What's your take, or story about a stuck trespasser? Leave em, break out the heavy equipment or what ?

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.
