I think some of you guys take this (hunting)a little too seriously.[:'(]
Nope, some of us RESPECT that animal enough to risk dealing with some ignorant anti-hunter type to follow up on what we started. I've never hunted in a situation where Scenario #2 would be an issue, however, I've put the shot over the fence, on a few occasions while hunting borders of land I was allowed to retrieve deer from, but not allowed to place a stand on. With archery equipment, MOST of the time, YOU are the only one who knows that shot was ever taken. Not saying I advocate tresspassing, but when there are pieces of land that are literally never seen by the owners for sometimes a period of 2-3 yrs, I suppose, I don't consider it trespassing as much as using the land GOD gave us. I do regularly hunt one such piece of land that the owners are some out of touch GREEN-PEACE fanatics that have not been to that property in at least 2 yrs as they live over 1,000 miles away and are the owners as a result of a "confused" willing. Call me WRONG or whatever, but I've never left the place any worse than it was when I happened upon it, and I've several times cleared the oil well path of debris when accessing it (on foot).
So Doug....Am I reading this right?....You put respect for an animal OVER the respect for another PERSON'S property?? You'll step on another mans rights because of a deer?
Hey I love hunting as much as the next guy but there is NO WAY I'm putting an animal (any animal) before another's rights as a free American....Our forefathersfought too hart to earn them.
If another person owns a piece of property have enough RESPECT for that person to ask permission to access it. If the answer is no try other avenues, if they fail, so be it....no disrespect to the animal in that scenario, you did all you could do.
