You went above and beyond to do the right thing, and you get screwed. I would have stowed my weapon in the truck and retrieved my deer without asking. Better to ask forgiveness than permission.
completely disagree,
burden is on the hunter to do the right thing,
not the landowner to grant permission after the fact,
right thing to do would have been to take precautions to avoid this to begin with.
if animal gets wasted or becomes coyote dinner, thats the hunters fault, not the landowners.
