From What you've said, I believe you'll be found guilty. Ignorance is no excuse. Is this a MA or do you have the option of paying the fine? If you can pay, I believe I would take the high road on this one and not $#@up for 3 years. I shot a nice 8 or10 on Friday that crossed the fence to an adjacent Property. Iwent to ask the landowner for permission to retrieve which is the law. He would not grant it so as far as I know The deer is stll laying there. What a magnificent waste!
