I've been thinking about how everyone who owns there hunting property or leases it they always refer to the deer as belonging to them. As in saying "i better not catch nobody poaching MY deer." So really whose deer are whose? Ihave always thought that the deers was wild animals and belonged to no one. I just thought i would get a few opinions on the subject. thanks Cecil
Like has been mentioned already, if the deer has jumped the fence onto my propertyand you shoot it, it's not yours any more! What's on my property is mine and if you try to retrieve it you are Trespassing.If that happened to me I would contact the owner of the property and explain it to him and offer him half of it. If he says NO, there's nothing I can do about it.
In the first place, I would havenot shot the deer and controlled my shot if I seen it go over the fence onto someones property.
