Oh wow!

I see that I'm also in the minority with only 7%............[]

I think some of you guys take this (hunting)a little too seriously.
[:'(]

Nope, some of us RESPECT that animal enough to risk dealing with some ignorant anti-hunter type to follow up on what we started. I've never hunted in a situation where Scenario #2 would be an issue, however, I've put the shot over the fence, on a few occasions while hunting borders of land I was allowed to retrieve deer from, but not allowed to place a stand on. With archery equipment, MOST of the time, YOU are the only one who knows that shot was ever taken. Not saying I advocate tresspassing, but when there are pieces of land that are literally never seen by the owners for sometimes a period of 2-3 yrs, I suppose, I don't consider it trespassing as much as using the land GOD gave us. I do regularly hunt one such piece of land that the owners are some out of touch GREEN-PEACE fanatics that have not been to that property in at least 2 yrs as they live over 1,000 miles away and are the owners as a result of a "confused" willing. Call me WRONG or whatever, but I've never left the place any worse than it was when I happened upon it, and I've several times cleared the oil well path of debris when accessing it (on foot).
The very folks you speak of as "out of touch green peace fanatics" have the same civil rights as America gives you .

I simply can not believe what I am reading from the same group of people that say the ainti hunters are fanatics and out to destroy hunting. They arn't the problem ,as you canclearly read here we don't give a dead rats ass about others property,others thoughts,and most of all others civil rights.

Keep beating your chests and making lame excuses for why you will knowingly break the laws that the simplest of man can understand. I'm to sick to continue.[:'(]
bawanajim is right guys......For ONE SECOND put hunting aside...This is basic human rights set up by the framers of this country we're talking about here! Holy cow!!! I can't believe what I'm reading!

A lot of GREAT men and women gave their lives (and still do) so we can live free as out forefathers designed it to be.........Please don't lessen their sacrifice because of an animal. [:'(]

BJ and bawana - you may be the minority here, but I'm with you 110%.

ANYONE setting up where a wounded deer may run off the property onto one where recovery is not allowed should be accepting thepossibility ahead of time that a deer they shoot may go unrecovered. Fact is nothing goes to waste in the natural order of things. And playing the "God" card as reson to disrespect a persons rights should be embarrising to a real believer - using religion as an excuse to pursue their recreational activity illegally. I don't see how the use of "Gods creatures" other then the thinking, reasoning human that shot it would be disrespectful to that animal. If you truly feel that way, you could easily avoid it by not shooting to start with.

Steve - comfortable minority

How any acres do you own Tony?
I used to own 35 ... why?
As I thought ,you have no dog in this fight.
Why is that Jim, because I do not own land anymore? Or is it because I owned a measly 35 acres?

Why would you chose to publicly belittle the owner of 35 acres? Many here proudly, and should ,own far less.

If anyone has a problem here.....let me say it quite possibly might be .....ah............you.
As every person answered your posted question ,you squrmed and twisted it so as everyone that did not admit to breaking one of Americas most outstanding rights,that being private property rights. as some how unethical.

You sir are wrong, and anyone that forgoes others the same basic rights you demand are also wrong.
Many a good mans has given more than should have been asked to defend the very things you willinglywalk on.

Jim .... because I would walk a few yards on someone elses property to grab a deer that I shot on mine?

Or is it because this thread has shown that 93% of hunters would do the same?

Or maybe because37% would actually shoot a deer on another guys property they knew did not allow hunting on?

Jim ... would YOU ever deny a guy permission to get his deer that died on your property?

no one that asked , And since when does a majorities viewmake a wrong equal to acivil right?

And your proud to point out that 37% of responders are admitted poachers. Or that 93% would willingly deny their neighbors civil rights.

Are there any others of the bill of rights you are so willing to over look? Freedom of speech comes to mind?

I find it a sorry time in our country's history that so many are so willing to deny the most basic of their neighbors civil rights for that of a dead deer. Pathetic is all I can say.

Well there was a time Jim when this question did not even need to be ask, now that is pathetic. Some how and I am just guessing. Someone stepping on your land, mine or any others for less than 5 seconds is not going to harm the bill of rights, I am just guessing.

With the new eminant domain ruling that have passed in the supreme court the past year I find more damaging to the bill of rights; than anyone here taking 3 steps to retrieve a deer.

There use to be a time when neighbors were friends, now they may shoot your big deer We have fallen and learned one great thing in America. How to protect our own interest, and only our own.

I remember helping my uncle a WW II vet when he broke down in his car. He just laughed he had to call me, "20 years ago 4 guys would have stoppedto help me"

You're right Jim the Bill of Rights is being stepped on, with the boot of selfisness

There I feel better
