RE: Ethical
I would cross that land. Done it before, and would do it again. It was only 15 yards. Explained this to the land owner, and he acted like a jerk saying he's calling the law. I did him a favor and brokeout the cell phone and did it for him. Talked to the game warden, and he understood the situation and told the land owner not to waste his time and little common sense will go a long way. I mean come on, I can see the deer, its 80F, and I am not going to let it spoil.

And its not like preventing someone, especially a neighboring landowner or that landowner's guest, from retrieving a legally shot deer is going to serve as a deterrent to future episodes of poaching/trespassing, or, compensate for some possible bad past experience.

RE: Ethical
Dang...deer season needs to get here...fast!!!
You guys worry too much...If you are going to set up right on the property line, shoot the deer through the shoulder blades so he will drop on the spot and be done with it....:D |
RE: Ethical
I don't think anyone is worrying. We are discussing. Does it appear to be worrying?
Any experienced hunter knows not all deer drop on the spot. |
RE: Ethical
Big...I gotta call BS on that...
:D:D:D See the smilies...Means I was somewhat joshing....BUT...If a hunter is truely experienced and knows his gun and load it isn't any problem dropping a deer in its tracks...Hunting in the swamps and cutovers in eastern NC I can do it anytime it needs to be done...If a hunter hasn't developed the skill level to do so then...stay off the property line.... As far as experience...I have hunted whitetails over 35 years and have killed 250-300...about 140 with the same rifle... |
RE: Ethical
If you have killed 250-300 deer and every single one dropped in its tracks, then you da man
 But, the rest of us are mere mortals. For example, I'm ashamed to say that I once had a large doe that somehow managed to scoot (while laying on its side) over 50 yards despite an apparently broken neck. I would hate to think that I have to allow an enormous no-mans land buffer zone around the edge of my property just because some fool may not let me cross the property line to pick up a deer. |

RE: Ethical
I don't know but in Iowa if you leave your gun on land you can hunt and go get him the land owner can be mad but he cant do anything about it.
