Someone is stepping over the line.

just 2 posts driven into the ground on each side ... pole between them ... only 1 end free with a red flag on the very top ( think rail road crossing ) ... then place a cheap boat air horn under the swivel end ( when the pole is lifted, the butt hits the air horn and alerts you and you see the red flag ) ... and trail cams to catch the rear plate # and possibly the actual driver....

Reporting it is a good idea! Throwing up a gate across the road will also work to help deter the problem.
The trail cam is a great idea but try and place it at license plate height and semi parallel to the road so it can shoot the person lic. plate as the enter (or leave) - this will help far more than a general side photo of a truck or a photo of an unknown person. This gives the police a good starting point to track down the person.
Good luck

I'd put up a gate and no-tresspassing signs, and notify local law enforcement. They may be able to pass by periodically.

Gates, signs and well placed game camera. Turn the photos over to law enforcement.

Contact the local law enforcement. A report will be documented. Taking the law into your own hands has down steam issues.....I'm not a lawyer. Just sleep with one.....

Same here -
But if you put out big no trespassing/warning signs you could probably put out the spikes. Which will be stolen and sold for scrap.

Even with signs, it is illegal to booby trap your own property. Don't do it.

Here in NC you can place No Trespassing signs on your property. They need to be located so that they are visible in all directions. For anyone to be on your property legally they must have a signed slip of paper with your permission and signature. Once you get the signs in place just call your local game warden. He will take care of the trespassers.

I use a Dakota Alert on my driveway and it works great, with several models that will transmit a long way,customer service was great too.

I just put a cable across my lower drive with a No trespassing sign in the middle. It is locked on one side with a padlock, but the other side just unclips if you know what to look for. Really stopped people going back. There are pretty good systems that are economical.
Amazon.com: Dakota Alert MURS Wireless Motion Detection Kit, Base Station Radio: Home Improvement
Here is one that has a variety of sensors, even an optional buried pressure sensor for detection. It can also trigger an alarm. It works on VHF so a pretty good range. Neighbor uses his at 1/4 mile with no issues.
