tracking a deer onto privit property
 

ok lets say you shoot a 12 point buck nice big deer.

He runs the 20 or 30 yards from you stand to the property next to yours. He goes 50 yard in and goes out of sight. But could not have went far you had a pass throughand theres alot of blood but it is 90 and time is of the most importance.

Do you try and track down the lan owner who you do not know an dhave no why of knowing how to find them . Or do you cross over the property line and track your deer . it is not like your hunting there land.

iam hunting 50 yards or so off of land owned by another ownerand am worryed my deer will run into his place since they seem tocome from that way what should i do if this happens to me

Sit back and enjoy the show, someone pass the salt please, and while you're up, can you bring some soda too please?

When it comes down to it, what's your relationship with the other landowner? What would he allow? What are your game laws regarding this? Could you contact him and he'd allow you to track him? Would he assist you? Would he stop you? Many things to consider.

Personally, if I saw the deer drop, and I watched it for a while and didn't see it get up - I might be tempted to just go and get it quick. It all depends on the relationship/ personal history with the land owner.

i do not knwo the other land owner but i think the guys who land i do hunt knows him

i plan to ask him if the guy would be ok with me tracking my deer or try to get his info

what i do not wont to do is upset the land ownerwho is nice enough to let me hunt his land

i do not wont this to turn into another debatejust had a question

RE: tracking a deer onto privit property
 

Many questions are good to know before shooting a deer so I'd ask asap. Ask him as what if's and ask if he'd assist you as you would do the same etc...

That's all you need. Once you answer those questions you'll know exaclty what you can and can't do and what to expect if the situation arises.

90F says it all for me. I have DNR police number on my phone. I would call them and tell them what I am doing and explain my situation. I have done this before with success in MD. I then run into another hunter while draggin out the deer, and tell, "I understand you gotta do what you gotta do, so call the DNR if you have too". They have always been decent about it. Even had one hunter get help me drag.

defenitely talk to him before the need arises. 50 yards is not that far when you think about a deer hit with a bow.

i have had the same problem....law says he can actully claim that deer...bs if you ask me...yes you are supposed to ask....if you know the land owner, you should be good...if not i suggest go and ask him before you go hunting....if you go and ask before you go out you will be confident in able to recover your deer...just ask if you shoot a deer and it runs onto he prop you will only go on his prop to recover the wounded deer....good luck

must owners will understand
i had to kick off a few people that came onto mine though...there was absolutly no blood on the trail they were walking...and had a unbelievable story..."it ran like a mile and half from where i shoot it and i seen it go in the woods here"...BS the only other problem it was neighbors but they didnt have the surronding property to my woods..i even caught the same couple people hunt ing one day on my prop...lol they didnt know i was up they should have done there research if they are going to break the law

I've had that happen to me 3 times already this year.

first time - bear opener. I went to the landowner's house and asked permission.

second time - I didn't even know the people next to me, didn't know how to get in touch with them and I've never seen them on their land. It wasn't posted, so as I understand minnesota law I could legally go look for the deer as long as I didn't have a weopon (which we didn't). I later got permission from that person

third time - gray area. I already got permission from him on bear opener, but didn't know if he meant every time or just that one time. i tracked it for a while and then backed out. recovered the deer early the next morning. I went to the owners house this weekend to inform him what I did, but he wasn't home. next weekend.

in your situation - if it's legal like it is in mn I would go get the deer.

i hate tresspassers i ran a few off in ky and had a guy in nc come to me and was talking about some land he had a little wasdown the road and asked if he could have access to my land to track the deernot after shooting before shooting which was a round about way to hunt my land i had two acres at them time with two house on them not going to happen i did not even activly hunt the place now if i seen a deer i might have shot it

he then asked me who hunted the land next to me and i said a older lady who had a small dislike to hunting not like petabut was going to let someone on her land .

two weeks late he was cought tresspassing she called the law which i might have done aswell

i do not wont to treesspass on anyone land i will ask them and letyou guys know how it goes thanks
for the help

Spend some time and track him down before the situation happens. Get permission before hand, get his phone number. So if it does happen, you can call him right before you go look for it.

If he won't let you, check your game laws. See if you can have a CO ****** you to the deer. If it's like some states where the land owner can claim the deer. Get his phone number anyway, tell him the situation and let him know you really want that deer, but if he still won't budge, tell him where you think it is. I'd rather see the guy have it then go to waste..

Unless he's PITA, I don't see you having an issue.

Ask question's before it happens withthe land owner!
