Joel - you yourself stated that according to the law, you needed permission to hunt on someone's property. Yet you shot a deer on your neighbors property that you didn't have permission to do. Right? Those were your words. Trespassing is illegal and so is poaching, which you clearly did when you shot across the property line. Put the shoe on the other foot, what if one of those "newbies" shot one on the property that you have permission to hunt? What would you do? Paint it what you want, you still poached that deer. Maybe not with a light, or a rifle but you shot it illegally according to your own words.
