There is no fence, sign, or significant other boundary marker that will keep unauthorized people off another's personal property. I have had many signs removed from my land, as well as cameras stolen. The last camera I hid(not very well) in a high tree, was gone in less than three days. I do welcome the new law as an efficient way to at least notify trespassers of boundaries. I've had two cans of the spray paint on my shelf for two years and plan on using them soon. I've gotten better at hiding and securing my cameras. I should have good data on the success of the purple paint project after a hunting season and into the shrooming season of next Spring.
Just read that on July 1, new law went into action stating boundaries marked with purple paint are same as marked with no trespassing signs. Just a heads up.
Why does property have to be marked? If it is not your property or public property or you do not have permission, and no emergency exists why can't people just stay off?

This is similar to an example I used at work to explain this purple paint law to my yuppie city friends / co-workers ( I work in Cincinnati). I've been taking a lot of teasing from my Buckeye friends about the purple fence law and I tried to explain to them that many Hoosiers property backs up to HNF and other public lands and making a fence across their co joining property lines is too expensive. The best teasing I have heard is one of my friends said "well what if your neighbors' cow is color blind and wanders over into your pasture". I told him that Hoosier cows are so smart they could actually read no trespassing signs and that the purple paint was just for humans.I own property that is in a "peninsula" of private land that juts into the Clark County State Forestry. My back property line is against the forestry, my front property line is against a road and the other side is also forestry. Without some sort of marking there is no way to distinguish my property from the public forestry if you were approaching the road from the forestry. I'd actually have to have it surveyed to mark it. It's not a straight line and I'm not sure myself exactly where it is for much of it's length.

If along with that came right to pay my property taxes, and right to pay for the upkeep, and right not to be sued for stupidity, then, still ****ing NO! You want to “roam”, buy your own ****ing place to roam, or ask/pay for permission from the guy that “owns”/leases from the .gov.No comment one way or another, just a different POV.

I'm going to make use of it even though I don't expect much.
A lot of my ground borders the HNF, but I don't get as many problems from there as I do the private ground it borders. Neighbors have two permanent blinds and a stand right on the border clearly hunting over my ground, but there's really nothing I can do unless I catch them with a deer.
