and while asking him for permission, its also a GOOD time to find out what they will or will NOT allow as to recovering anything that runs off onto there side of the fence
as legally in many states its ILLEGAL to trespass to recover a deer that was shot on your side but ran onto another's property
so keep this in mind when hunting smaller sections of land or near borders
if you shoot a deer and it runs onto another land owners land, and you DON"T have legal permission to go recover it, you could be in legal trouble if you do! and NO one wants to loose a deer this way period either
some times getting a warden involved can help but NOT always , so knowing before you need to know what will happen is always better route to go!
I personally have agreements with most bordering land owners where I hunt, that IF a deer crosses property line, I am to Notify them and then they have the option of saying they want to BE there to see or, just let me go get it(99.9% of the time they say just GO get it, as I have rather good relations with most bordering land owners)
but have had a few places where they out right refused to allow a recovery if one ever was needed!
so a heads up on this info too in case you didn;t think of it or know it!
