Make your irrational arguments all you want. There's a huge difference between me coming in your house and drinking your beer and eating your food, than me going 75yds onto your property to retrieve an animal I killed. I think our forefathers would likely agree with me more than you on this one, but you may be right, after all, they WERE politicians of that time as well.
That being said, if someone kills and animal and it runs onto my property, I'll gladly allow them to pursue that animal to recover it. I've even offered up my ATV to a couple of young kids tracked a deer on my place, so don't think it's not a 2-way road, because it is.
YOUR "rights" to recover a deer end at the property line you've been told NOT to cross
I think the key words Jeff said were "you've been TOLD not to cross" Once you have been told-thats it you cant do it.
Unfortunetally our forefathers are not around any more.
