"...Tresspassers...Will Be Shot, Survivors..." signs - how old?

While also describing more or less what happens to Jack and Ennis, who "trepass" against society's rules.

Wow. You're right.
"...Survivors will be shot again..."
Ouch.

Sorry, Shuggy..here i AM. (DID I HEAR AN ECHO?)..THEY WOUOD NEVER HAVE USED THE SIGN IN THE MOVIE IF IT HAD NOT BEEEN AN OLD ONE.
iT'S TRESSPASSERS WILL BE SHOT
SURVIVORS WILL BE SHOT AGAIN
and if the added significance of the message didn't hit you THE FIRST TIME YOU SAW THE MOVIE, you must have been asleep...
THE BUCKING BRONCO HAS BEEN OPTIONAL ON ALL WYOMING LICENCE PLATES FOR...PROBABLY SINCE THEY STARTED MAKING LICENCE PLATES IN WYOMING.
Don't know about the trcjk models, but the licence plates are a mess...should not be more than four letters+numbers on any Wyoming licence plate in 1963. Jack has 6, the big truck 5,(and it IS Wyoming),--only Aguirre's has the right number

What in the world does a bucking bronco on a license plate have to do with a trespassing sign? ???

So youre saying they would never have used an anachronistic sign (which would be hard to date) but they did use anachronistic licence plates (which would be easy)?
The added significance of the sign didnt hit me the first time I saw the movie. Hell, the initial significance of the sign didnt hit me the first time I saw the movie, because I hadnt yet encountered Aguirre.
Is there a sense in which Ennis, a trespasser who survived, is shot again?
