Default RE: Trespassing to find a mortally wounded animal

If someone has asked prior to season and I've denied them, then I have a good reason.
Usually linesitters hunting our property instead of their open fields bordering us.
One who is denied has 5 acres we surrond on 3 sides.
He sets up on the inside corner line tree with his stands hanging over and facing our property.
Everthing he shoots at is on our side. We catch him - straight to court.

Or they are the ones who we have caught claiming to be on a blood trail - with no blood trail ever found.
If caught,straight tocourt everytime - no warnings.

If they have not asked and are caught in season, they may get a warning depending on their attitude and if the evidence supports their claim.
Bad attitude, lying, or 2nd time - straight to court.

We have this worked out with most of the neighboring landowners.
They/we allow recovery with notice prior so we do not bust their hunt.
The rest either refuse to play nice or are off from bordering state land.

No reason not to have this worked out ahead of time.
Not hard to do the right thing - unless you can't be bothered.
