I'm a landowner. I have absolutely zero problem with somebody recovering their deer. Have helped recover with them many times. But I'm also a fellow hunter to them. People have to understand not all landowners are hunters (not sure in this case). So heres a guy that owns a bunch of land. Doesn't hunt. Doesn't know anything about deer or hunters or hunting in general. Could really care less about your deer that is on his land. Simply doesn't want you on something he owns. He equates it to you walking in his kitchen for a glass of water. Do I agree with him not letting you get your deer? No. But I'm a hunter and think differently. Again... not sure if this applies to this situation, but it is out there. Some landowners just don't care about it.
