Default RE: Ok Ethics Police ........2 Part Question .................................................

My property buts up to the neighbors with a single row of tree's seperating the two. The owner lives in another state and in 10 years I have seen him here once. I see deer on his property all the time,(and turkeys)just on the other side of those tree's. My wife is always telling me to shoot one, but I always refuse. I put my stand in the seperating row of trees, but turn it in to face my property and take my chances that one will cross over. It may be a little frustrating knowing there right there and I could take one and no one would know, But I will not ever lauch an arrow past that tree line no matter the size of the deer. I wouldnt be setting a very good example for my kids, who are very interested in my hunting. If I cant do it the right way, Id rather not do it than have to explain why it was o.k. to shoot a deer on someone elses property. If one ran in there after being shot though, I would have no problem retrieving it. ( even if he said to keep out.)
