Doyou knowingly break the law when you drive 10mph over the speed limit. Do you knowing break the law when you do not come to a complete stop at a stop sign? Everyone knowingly breaks the law every single day of their lives. So it find it a just little hypocirtical of anyone that would call the cops in a situation like this.

I would certainly step over the line a few yards to retreive a deer. Whoopty doo.... so Istepped30 or 40yards onto someones property to get a legally shot deer, someone bettercall the police. []The deer didn't lay there dead and rot and go completely to waste like it did in this scenario with Babe.Shame on the land owner!

If it ran aseveral hundred yards onto someone elses propertythen no, I would knock on the door and get permission.

PersonallyI don't see why any one would have a problem with a hunter doing this. If I were the land owner I may aproach them and ask what they are doing and if they are retreiving an animal they legally shot on their property and being respectful of my landI would help them load it in their truck.

I don't have the luxury of owning hundeds or thousandsof acres and Ilive in a subdivision.I don't look at this any differently than the neighbor on my left walking across my yard to go the neighbors house on my right. AmI gong rush out my door and tell them to walk around on the street or call the cops every time a neighborhood mom walks across my yard. Of course not, that would be absurd. I feel the same way about this situation in this thread.

I know ther are a lot of easy going land owners out therebut there are a bunch that need to just lighten up quite a bit. I didn't see the show but it sounds like the land owner in this show is one that needs to lighten up.
