The US state of Vermont actually has a constitutional right to hunt on open, private lands. This dates from the original state constitution.
If you don't want people hunting in your woods, you have several options. The simplest is to post an exclusion zone around your dwelling. But posting an entire large woodlot with "No Hunting" signs is a deliberately awful process. The signs must surround the entire boundary, and they must have a recent date. They must also be registered with the town.

In some countries, it's not a problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_to_roam

In practice, it's very rare for people to post large woods.
Compared to Wyoming, there are no large woods in Vermont.
I feel profound sadness that there is no legal equivalent in the US. What a beautiful, humane concept.
The endless signs about trespassing in wild parts of the USA are pretty grim. I understand why they do it, but it feels so adversarial and ugly.
As I went walking I saw a sign there,
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing."
But on the other side it didn't say nothing.
That side was made for you and me.

For some reason, that stanza gets left out of the all modern performances I've heard.
That's because it's not in the Guthrie version, only the Mojo Nixon version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSNjVogUV1E
This version, apparently by Guthrie, has it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxiMrvDbq3s
Perhaps you would like to put this feeling into action and talk to your representative about changing the law.
