Trespassing

Not really.
Hunting and fishing were a means of sustenance at the time... and fish/game a common ownership.

Our other outdoor recreational activities are modern... and really not characteristic of a conservative-leaning populous.

Posting is not limited by the size of a property... but smaller properties use other means to denote the restriction. ''Secured premises'' being the most noted.
It is consider wrong, possibly criminal, to climb over closed fences and gates.

Your posting with the chain should be sufficient enough for anyone paying attention to realize that you do not wish them there. The name and address requirement is so that someone wishing to access the property, but respect your wishes, can write to you and request written permission that would be valid for law enforcement to determine that you have allowed them there.
