1.) No, I wouldn't shoot. Its difficult to say that with conviction, but I would hopeI would be able to stick to my guns.
2.) Yes, I would get the deer. Is there a law stating that you have to have permission to retrieve your animal? Washington is a free chase state, I could get it without permission in this instance. The landowner doesn't have to give me permission, but I don't have to ask either.
Dan ... in the scenario, it would still be trespassing to get the dead deer without the landowners permission .... would you still get it????
Honestly, and despite what I said in the other thread; yes.
I know full well that the landowner won't give me permission to go in and get it, but I owe it to the animal to retrieve it. If I'm busted, I'm busted. I man up and take the punishment. I would sleep perfectly fine at night knowing I tresspassed to get my animal.
