In all HONESTY, with that attitude, I don't believe you are a sportsman with the best interest of our sport at the forefront.
I have no problem with trespassing (breaking the law) to recover a deer, as I owe it to that animal to do my BEST to recover it and use it as it was intended for me to use it. For me NOT to do that because of MAN'S IGNORANT LAWS, is for me to break what I believe is one of NATURE'S LAWS, which are, to me, more important.
Don't get me wrong.....
YOUR "rights" to recover a deer end at the property line you've been told NOT to cross. While I think exercising all LEGAL facets at recovering a downed deer are commendable......I put the rights of the landowner above any "perceived" "rights" a hunter trying to recover his quarry thinks he posesses.
The rights of a landowner to admit or deny access to his lands shall not be infringed.
It's JUST a deer.
