First off let me say that you ethically and legally must have respect for his no trespassing signs. With that said, I think it is downright nasty of someone to post his property for nobody to hunt period, and then have the nerve to go hunt someone elses property unless there is a safety issue involved with hunting his own property.

As far as tracking a wounded animal, I am a firm believer that you must do everyting possible to retrieve the deer. If that means you get the game warden to have a "friendly talk" with the land owner, you do it. I have met very few land owners that will not allow you to track a wounded deer on their posted property as long as you can prove that you are tracking one and not just trespassing in disguise. Those few can usually be persuaded by a game warden and in some states, the game warden had the authority to grant the necessary permission evenif the landowner is particularly stubborn. It is un-ethical and in-humane to allow a wounded animal to suffer a painful death because a land owner wants to keep you off of his or her precious property.
