As a grower and dove hunter and one who has dealt with trespassers I would say that you can bring down a world of problems by being too heavy handed even if they were on your property. Those guys could well return with law enforcement to reclaim their shotguns. If your land is properly posted you can run them out but keeping their guns could come back to haunt you.....
Even if you own the land unless they do some damage the first time you catch someone all you can really do is ask them to leave. The second time you can have them arrested, but not much will happen to them.
Legitimate dove hunters should be wearing some red or flourescent orange. If there are enough dove to be hunting they will also be shooting and their presense is obvious. Archery deer season is also on in most of NorCal right now and bowhunters will be in full camo and silent.
Any hunter trespassing in NorCal these days is an idiot with the amount of cultivation going on.
I was out with my bow deer hunting in the Mendocino Nat'l Forest a week ago and ran into a couple of amigos with an assault rifle. I did not interact with them. They made their presense known, and I left the area. This kind of acitvity on public land where I have every right to be is bullshit and I have no problem getting in touch with law enforcement about it......
