RE: Doe
If the only reason you stopped tracking the deer is because it was on someone else's land contact a game warden. I know in some states even if the land is posted you have the right to retreive your deer (with a game warden in tow usually) whether or not the landowner wants you there. I believe you first have to furnish proof (start of the blood trail, etc.) that you shot the deer on land you had permission to hunt though.
