2 later decisions quote this exact passage“When questioned about other people’s use of the land, defendant testified that he put up no trespassing signs in 1991 and asked hunters he found on the property to leave. Defendant said he had been running people off the land long before he posted the property — “for twenty plus years.” This evidence was sufficient to support defendant’s claim that his possession of the land was exclusive and adverse as to all others.”
