For the most part it's a legal thing. If your land is not posted, you really have no right to protect it from anyone who wants to cross it and if they get hurt while on it... they will probably be the new owners. It's one of the many unfortunate system things in the US that makes our lives the property of lawyers and those who would take advantage.

Sure there are those who want you to "STAY OUT!" But for the most part is fear of legal actions.
