Well Sylvan here in Illinois the hunter has the right to cross that boundary to retrieve a deer he shot on his own land.
Illinois Bowhuntin and all other Illinois hunters.....It is
illegal to enter others property without permission. It is CLEARLY stated on page 36 of the 2005-2006 Illinois Digest of Hunting and Trapping Regulations
It states and I quote: "You must have permission to hunt from the landowner or tenant before you enter their property.
That includes tracking wounded game. Although it is illegal to kill game and not make an attempt to retrieve it,
your attempt ends if you are not granted access to the property where the animal goes."
Just thought you should all know.
