If you won't allow someone on to your property to retrieve a downed animal, you are a clown with significant issues that go well beyond the desire to defend property rights. I know a few folks like this, and they would be the first one to cross the line if the situation was reversed. Of course, that does not legally justify going on to their land to get your deer. However, if it was me, I would do what several others here have said; go get my deer and take my lumps if I was caught. As far asi'm concerned, when you wound an animal, you now have an ethicalobligation to retrieve it that trumps legal technicalities.
