I think the first thing is to know what you can and can't do and by that I mean;

In Ohio, it is not trespass unless it is posted (either by sign or written notification to them).
Unless you can prove they are committing a crime, land owner “is” responsible for injury and possibly damage. Booby-traps are illegal and get “you” jail time.
You own to the center of the road with a permanent easement to the county/state in most cases, which extends well past the edge of the road generally. Blocking, building in, any part of it can get you in hot water.

I would post every 200-300’ all the way around the property. Drop a log across every trail you find and post it. Take pictures and setup a couple cheap game cameras. Can’t say the law would do anything but if you find tracks that lead somewhere (off the property), see if they will follow them out and speak to the neighbor.

We had a bunch here that loved to scold us if we even look towards the fence line and feel they have full right to hunt (drive deer off) all of ours. I gave up a day of hunting to set in the woods and took pictures with a very expensive camera and telephoto lenses. I got 6 different faces from two different trucks. Mailed a letter and photos to the owner (estate rep), and farmer stating if they couldn’t identify them I was forwarding it to the law. If they could, this was their notice to provide proper notice to any and all who they gave permission to be on their place where the property lines were and make sure they knew ours was posted. As next time I will just be calling the law. I got a response within 3 days. Every few years I have to show a new guy the property line but not near as bad as it was and do not get any attitude from them.

I should add, here in Ohio you cannot even track or retrieve, wounded / dead, deer without owner / agent permission. I walk that border every day I am out, but hunt far enough off it to keep anything I shoot from crossing it.
