It's hard to cross a fence by accident, especially if the land owner is serious about his no trespassing policy. I used to trespass a LOT and I've never had a really bad experience with a land owner. I've ran into quite a few and just being honest and up front about why you're there is enough to ease their concerns. Most just said be careful. I got asked to leave a few times because it was "too dangerous" or they had expensive equipment or any of the other excuses they use to politely ask you to leave.
The odds of getting shot is REALLY low, hell seeing the land owner deep in the woods isn't exactly common. I tried to find some statistic on it but could only find 1 or 2 articles about an incident.
