I understand exactly where you're coming from. I simply disagree with you. I agree that the property owner is being an ******* but like it or not it's clearly his right to deny access to his property and he doesn't owe anybody an explination. The situation is that the landowner has made the decision to let the deer spoil on his land rather than allow someone access to retrieve it. Your ethical question (because legally you have no options) is do I accept his decision or do I reason that it is a bigger sin ethically to let the meat spoil than it is to violate the landowners rights and go get the deer anyway. Now if it was a child drowning in his pond without question the drowning child trumps trespassing but does spoiling meat trump landowner rights? Not for me. To me it is very important to respectand protect private property rights. Far more important than protecting meat from spoiling.

Good luck hunting this year as well!
