In the scenario listed exactly as stated, go get it, but leave your bow.
Not happening to me because I have this worked out prior to season with all the surrounding landowner.
Most are allowed - some are not for ANY reason based on their past histories.
Those not allowed go straight to court every time.
We have one 60 acre section bordered by 800 acres of state land where no one (but 2 long time friends) are allowed to enter for any reason -.
Again years of abuse by those claiming bloodtrails, finding slobs in our stands thinking it was ok "since no one was there" and 100 other excuses are the reason. Well marked line with phone numbers - call 1st and wait for us to see your legit or go to court.

Id be getting my deer. Harvest the animal, use its food. in order to do that you would have to "trespass". ifthe property ownerwanted to be a dick about it and say i couldnt have it or theywould presschargesthey better be packin heat or be able to kick my ass b/c we would be fighting. not tryin to sound like some uneducated hick, but why would anyone be that way. i know if someone shot a deer and it ran 3 miles and dropped dead in my backyard i would gladly allow the person with or without permission to at least retrieve the animal andassuming they arent stealing or trying to destroy my property/land.like i said, i dont want to sound like a punk or nothing, but would any of you object to letting someone retrieve the animal they killed on "their" property which fell on "your" property. maybe im missing something, but i wouldnt, unless i felt like they were up to no good, or in fact shot the animal on my property. different situations call for different actions i guess, and the same goes for my answer to i suppose.
drock - I hope I educated you as to some of the reasons why right to recover may be denied to some. Anyone denied when confronted who attempts entry anyway will have charges filed.If they counter with threats and attempts to kick ass and fight, they will simply be facing criminal charges insteadof a civil violation. Their decision.
With rare exceptions, it's not hard to do it the right way.
Keep it fun for everyone.
