No hunting sign

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”

Good advice! This is what construction companies do for new building sites, obviously they lawyered up so take advantage of the example. Sounds more official as well.

You shouldn't need to, and absolutely trespassers should know where they are. That said, I'm never going to underestimate the stupidity of others. Particularly when doing so could have pretty horrible consequences.
 
My buddy's farm where I varmint/predator hunt has trouble with adjacent CA property with people assuming his woodlot property are part of the CA land. He's tried to post it,fence it,gate it,nothing worked. Finally,we repaired the gates and fences with red and white signs across the property line fences reading "Warning! Rifle Range. No Admittance. Authorized personnel only beyond this point". So far,it seems to be working well.

Not just the stupidity, but he sheer nerve of some folks.

Both myself, and my brother, have been told by trespassing firewood cutters that they not only had permission to cut where they were cutting, but had always cut there, and would cause trouble for us with the owners. Which, was us.
They were really surprised when we called the Police in to deal with them! Even more surprised that they were expected to unload the wood they already cut and split, as if they should have been allowed to keep that!

Dunno what the score is further out East, but the last decade or so has seen most of the Western Provinces go to the principle that you are expected to know where you are, and to know if you actually have permission to be there.
Signs that say about anything related to Trespassing, are usually the first things that are vandalized. No longer required here.
 
Is a thing out here on prairies that no poster seems to want to mention - besides some white kids from town on a hoot, most farm break-ins, thefts seem associated with FN people. May or may not be consistently true, but is the thought, here. Reading on Wikipedia - Plains Indians had very old tradition of "counting coup" - so touching some enemy man without his permission or stealing something that he owned. Was much much harder to do versus killing the guy outright and taking his stuff. "Coup counters" apparently earned very awesome "rank" and "status" for their feats - they had assessed the ultimate shame on their victims. What seems to be overlooked is that there was no second place medals or "participant ribbons" - you either did it or were killed in the attempt - if not out right killed, then enslaved for that person's life time unless rescued by his "crew" - and why would anyone expend energy and resources on a "not first place finisher"...
