Default RE: how "ethical" is this ?

How does the law read in Arkansas about retrieving an animal on someone else's property? This is a big factor because if you can't without permission (like here in Illinois) and the fence pisses your neighbor off then any deer you shoot that runs onto his property you lost. It could be the biggest deer you have ever seen in your life but if it steps one foot on his property and dies there, without permission from him to get it, it will just end up on his wall/freezer, because all he would have to do is call the DNR and say a deer wandered on to his property and died and he want's to claim it.

If you have the right to get your deer, then you can pretty much do what you want as far as fences go. But remember you could be missing out on some additional hunting land (your neighbor's) and it would be a real pisser to find out all of the deer are over on his property and you can't do anything about it because you had to have a fence.

Something to chew on.
