Magic man, I'm not sure where u got your info on Wisconsin. But I got a little bit different answer from a DNR warden this past fall. If an animal runs onto an adjacent property you are hunting on, you must get permission from the land owner to retrieve it. If the land owner will not give permission, you then can ask the DNR to intervene on your behalf, but the land owner does NOT have to let him or you on their land to retrieve that animal. But one thing that is little known, that the land owner cannot take possession of your animal since they did not kill it. The DNR will then watch the animal & if the land owner takes it, they will be charged with illegal possession of game. This very subject was brought up this past Sept. at my kid's hunter's safety course, and that is how he answered the question on retrieveing game on adjacent land that you are not hunting.
