RE: Tresspassing to find a mortally wounded animal
 

I know....and all over a DEER! It's crazy, huh?

I'm not sure who the offended person is when I drive 40 in a 35. Haven't figured that one out. The state? OK;)

As long as you who say you would trespass will admit that the DEER is worth you breaking the law for.....I have no issues with it. But we can leave the landowner out of it. By denying you entry.....he's doing nothing illegal. You would be.

The rights of the landowner is something our country's foundation is built on. I just don't like to see them taken so trivially.

Especially over a DEER.............[&:]

James you see my previous post, wardens dont have authority to persue trespassers. Only go after the deer if taken illegally.

Sorry BB, but the answer is no, unless he had it posted.

RE: Tresspassing to find a mortally wounded animal
 

Peakrut, that is correct. It is up to the county sherriff to pursue trespassing violations.

RE: Tresspassing to find a mortally wounded animal
 

That would depend on the individual state.

So how do you ask for permission to retreive a deerif the property where the land owner livesis posted?
Say he lives on 500 postedacres that borders your hunting property and the deer ran onto that posted 500 acres. If you walk onto his property to ask for permissionyou are trespassing.... if you go get the deer you are trespassing.

What do you do?

You work this all out PRIOR to the start of season.
Should be a part of our prep - every bit as important as sighting your bow, etc.

to make it short i would go and get my deer. people can be really stupid over something like that. when it doesnt have to be a big deal.

I finally saw the episode last night and I don't know. First off, that was just a bad shot. No two ways about it. They should have never even started tracking that buck (see Rob's post) until the next day.

It just seemed all too staged for me and maybe that was the point of the show to talk about landownder/neighboring property relations and raise a valid discussion which I think it did/has.

RE: Tresspassing to find a mortally wounded animal
 

It's still tresspassing when you walk over there before the season starts. The only way to accomplish this without tresspassing is if you happen into your neighbor somewhere off his property, but again you aren't "taking care of this before season" with this method, you are merely relying on fate to bring both of you together. Unless of course you park at the person's entrance and "stalk" them waiting on them to come in and out. I don't see any issue there......:eek:

RE: Tresspassing to find a mortally wounded animal
 

Exactly. It's not like the law says that it is only trespassing during deer season.

So what do you do? Is there anything you can do other than trespass?
