How to keep hunters away?

Two cans of aerosol paint, one red one orange and a couple of "NO TRESPASSING" signs. Place the signs at the most visible areas from the roadways/allowances and mark the edge trees of the lot with a 5" orange circle filled with red paint, every 50 yds. or so. My buddy as well as my BIL did this on their properties and 95% of the guys got the message.
Edited to add: Saw yommama's post after I posted, unfortunately will not work... Some arzeholes have been known to rip them off the trees in order to claim ignorance. Best to just mark directly on the tree, or if you do nail them on bring a short stepladder to nail them 10 ft. off the ground.

Umm yeah thats already not worked. The mere suggestion that he had firearms when trying to deter Ontario Hydro from installing a Smartmeter got one man thrown in prison.
Not trying to sound cynical, but there are a lot more arseholes in the hunting community than good folk. Owning rural property, will soon acquaint you with many of them over the years. A couple of my properties are posted, hunting by permission only. I have never refused anyone that asked to hunt on either place. Over the years I have had two instances of people claiming ownership of each piece of land, and chasing off people that were there to hunt with my permission. I have had gates destroyed, cables cut, signs ripped down, and garbage dumped. People don't realize that I am the one to clean up the crap these slobs leave behind, deal with the cutting of trees and trails cut through my land, pay the taxes, and are liable to a certain extent for these idiots. Sometimes it makes me want to sell out to one of the forestry companies, and let them clearcut it all and plant a monoculture forest to feed their mills. Then we all lose.

you post hunting with written permission only.
inquire @ ### ### ###x
you ask for their info: name,address, license plate # etc (so you can identify them and send their permission slip)
Then tell them you already have as many hunters as the land will stand, but you will call them when there is an opening as they are next in line.
Do this for everyone...just don't tell them the land will only stand you hunting it.
Makes tracking down and prosecuting much easier when they have supplied their info for you.

Sounds good on paper but very impractical in real life. Years ago I was hunting a property that I had permission for, with my uncle. The old guy took a wrong turn and ended up in the neighbour's property making his way to my car so we can leave. Neighbour -who was also an older guy- confronted my uncle and started screaming and cussing at him, they were a coupe of hundred yards away from me but I could see them clearly from the road. Next thing I see is the farmer trying to wrestle my uncle's loaded Baikal SXS away from him! Farmer had the muzzle gripped close to his stomach and uncle was pulling the gun away from the grip and stock. This lasted for a good ten seconds, all the while the hairs on the back of my neck were standing up, I truly expected a tragedy to take place. Thankfully the gun did not go off and the uncle managed to overpower the guy and take his gun back.
Yes definitely so...... pre meditated suicide if he goes past the sign. lol
I had 1200 acres in the States that was School Board land for decades and was hunted by the public. I had fits the first 2 years and had to gate areas but nothing worked including common sense warnings about trespassing, until I kept an eye on it day and night for a few weeks with LE help.
Once you catch a few and have the law pick them up word gets out, especially when you impound their vehicle a mile deep onto your property and hold it until they pay for the trackhoe work.

I like the tag idea, not the chop under 430(4).

Private property will be the end to hunting and most people don't realize this. Before communism in former Czechoslovakia, everything was privately owned and it was hard to be able to hunt lawfully. The land owners, and the friends of the land owners, where usually the only people who could hunt. Imagine a country where only the rich could hunt. Then the commies came and took all the private land away and made it like are equivalent for crown land. Hunting became much easier to participate in. You could hunt on the crown land without permission that was with in your hunting clubs permitted area. Kind of like are hunting regions here in British Columbia only you could only hunt in the regions that you were a member of. Once nothing is crown land anymore, either native or private, everyone will need permission to hunt. The queen is generous to allow us to use her land as we please. If I owned private land, I would be "that guy" that is pro hunting. I would post signs that says, "Private property, hunting permitted, be weary of inhabited buildings to the ____ at _____ distance. Donate some of the meat if you get something " It is you're land, and you may do as you please, but that is what I would do.

Well I own 65 acres, which cost me over $600 in taxes a year + monthly payments to the bank, cause I really don't own it yet. Then I have $$ to put in my tractor and the new old trailer I bought; $5k this year. I do all the clearing on the property and maintenance of my trails. I built a outhouse, nice enough for the ladies to use, all on my own. This year I didn't even get my tag filled. Not likely that I will want somebody walking 'off the street' and using my property to take what little game there maybe on it.

Its a win here if the logging company owns it. Clear cuts are great hunting vantage points and loggers leave a lot of good wood behind for milling and firewood. Grouse love second growth forests too. Surprisingly to most people, it doesn't take long for a clear cut to grow back in. Only takes 20 years. Logging roads offer hunters the ability to easily access the hunting grounds. The logging companies don't give a #### if you hunt in areas they're not actively working.
If your aunt had balls, she'd be your uncle. I could have bought a fleet of Ferraris and a lifetime of guided hunts for what my land cost me, and I should give the hunting away and ruin it for my family to someone who wouldn't come to my funeral if I died tomorrow?
