Also....I wouldn't be above going to him and telling him this.........

"If you don't let me have that deer......I'm going to hunt the edge of your property line and shoot EVERY deer, rabbit, squirrel, raccoon, possum, etc..... out of spite. If you let me retrieve it....I promise you I'm done killing deer here, this year."

Your move, sir.

Would "I" follow through on my threat? No. WOuld I make him think I would? Darned straight.
