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.
I'll tend to disagree, as I believe my RIGHTS (Given by GOD, not this tyrannical govt. of this country) are to give my best effort to recover that animal, paying it the respect it deserves for the life I've taken from it.

I don't know of any scriptures that support going after an animal just because you shot it.
Murdering a baby goes against scripture and just because the government says its OK doesn't mean I have to do it.
I tend to believe GOD would expect me to recover that animal and use it's meat to feed my family, therefore I believe that "Man's Laws" in that situation DO conflict with "God's Laws."
"Arise, Kill and Eat..." I missed the part where it said don't recover your game, let it ROT, because an irrational person doesn't want you "trespassing" on their land to recover your animal. Again, I believe GOD would rather I "trespass" and recover the animal, rather than leave it to rot because of someone's "PERCEIVED RIGHT (as I believe it, because I don't believe he intended for any of us to "RULE" anything infinitely and completely here on Earth.)." And again, I'd EXPECT someone to "trespass" onto my property to retrieve their game as well, as it shows respect to that animal they've taken the life of.
