Yes blame the land owner and I would have went and gotten the deer anyway especially if I knew where it was at. Let the landowner call anyone he wants.

Yes it does happen,
As a hunter one should try to minimize the chances of it happening, can't eliminate it, but one can take steps to minimize the risk.
1 thing one can do as previously mentioned is use a firearm that has a greater chance of downing that deer on the spot.
Another is picking your spots carefully, reducing risk of deer running onto land you don't have permission.
I have permission to chase game from 2 of 3 of my nbeighbors, 3 neighbor who owns 300 acres, I have spent past 7 years trying to track him down to contact him, and won't hunt anywhere near his border til I do.
One of my nbeighbors who I prevously had permission, recently passed away and I won't go near his border now until I get in contact with the new owner,
I will hunt state lands before I hunt close their borders,
What's too close will vary on location, and individual.
If you lose game, obviously too close in that situation.
