Second, that this property had been posted by (describe method of

[trap];

And Fourth, that the defendant went on this property without the

written permission of the [landowner] [landowner’s agent] [lessee]

[lessee’s agent].2

your duty to return a verdict of guilty. If you do not so find or have a

reasonable doubt as to one or more of these things, then it would be
