Need suggestions about trespassing

We can relate to the frustration expressed (see pictures below). Our latest battle is with a local who lifts our fence and sends his dogs in to hunt the rabbits and guinea fowl. His dogs obviously make our dogs go ballistic and are teaching ours about hunting, something we don't encourage because the area is a Reserve.
We also have hassles with unsupervised cattle herds crushing our fence, and everything else in their path, and destroying our garden and new trees (we're trying to rehabilitate back to bushveld).
The worst is the scumbags who cut our fences and use the wire to make snares, then plant the snares on the bokkie (buck) trails. I get homicidal thoughts finding the decomposed animals and worry about my pets.
All our farm animals were sold five years ago because of the aggressive poaching. Heartbreaking.
Any suggestions?
