ORIGINAL: BIRD DOG
OK - reverse the situation - I am hunting - I hear a shot and see the biggest buck rolling up the fence line crossing it and falling dead at my feet! - Well, what do we have - it must be my lucky day! A buck without a shot - This situation could get really hairy - knowing what kind of person I am - I give the buck back - but that is me - LOVE YOU NEIGHBOR AS YOU WOULD YOURSELF! This would take care of all things! To be or not to be - UMMMMMMMM?
BD, I suppose that we could "war game" this thing to death in both situations. If you were hunting that close to a bordering property, you should have accepted the possibility of having the deer run off in that direction. Secondly, most landowners that are "crazy or a jack*ss" didn't start out that way, outside people made them become that way.
