Friend of mine posted a section of crown land... he hunted it as his private game preserve for 10 years before anyone caught on.
Depends, do you intend to hunt your property yourself?My preference is:
NO HUNTING
NO TRESSPASSING
I think that makes things clear.

Check local regs, you may be cutting yourself out too.
In Ontario if you don't want people on your land anytime the posted sign must be "No Trespassing" and must be spaced as to be reasonable viewable . If you post "No Hunting" signs the implication may be that you do allow other activities such as berry picking , hiking , camping , ATVs and snow machines etc . I was in court over this a few years ago . My land can be accessed from two roads which are 2 of the borders and i have about 35 No Trespassing signs up plus 4 inch red disks between those .
Is this sign even legal to post? The property owner is threatening death to trespassers. It seems like the police would demand the sign be removed or the owner would be charged with uttering a death threat (im pretty sure this is a crime). On the other hand, if a trespasser entered and was shot, does this improve the legal position of the property owner? Where is Runkle, we need a discussion haha.
A bit curious how we have "evolved" as a society. Why signs? If it is private land, and you are not the owner, why would you think that you can enter onto that land without the owner's permission? Why does the land owner have to post any signs to warn? Maybe like thieves - if trespassers experienced true consequences for their actions, might not happen so often??
stepped in a big pile of horse crap the other day on one of our trails, neighbors have horses and about 10 acres of open field................. why the F were they on our trails that I pay for the land, taxes and clear the trails on my days off??? went and put a sign up and new gate where they cut a path threw there overgrown field to our place. wife made me put it up and not go over. wasn't going to end well if I went over. hopefully they got the point. but why should I spend the time and money when they know where the property lines are????? still not happy
Same thing happened at my inlaws farm, dropped a few trees where the made a way onto the property.
Even signs are not enough. Was in the bush when I heard some motor bikes coming my way. They must have seen one of my signs because they stopped for a while to discuss the sign before proceeding to tresspass. They were really quite surprised to see me standing on the trail.
Dan is correct above- these regulations are set provincially, not federally, so be sure to check with your own province first.
In Saskatchewan, any person can hunt on posted "No Hunting" land, so long as they have "consent from the owner or occupant".

If you’re getting your own signs made, include the relevant regulation. That’s what municipalities do to make prosecutions easier. Can’t claim ignorance or confusion about province to province differences, if you’re given the source document to refer to.
Example:
No Trespassing
Enforced under the Ontario Trespass to Property Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. T.21
Also, make sure you look at the spacing requirement in your province. For instance, in Ontario signs must be posted “so that a sign is clearly visible in daylight under normal conditions from the approach to each ordinary point of access to the premises to which it applies”
