Here in MD, you have to have the landowners permission in order to track a deer on there property. We used to be able to track them w/o a weapon in possesion on private property, but that law changed a few years ago.

I lost the hugest buck (potential B&C) I' ve ever shot to a crooked manager of a neighboring property. The deer was hit perfectly with my arrow, but didn' t get the penetration I' d hoped for. I wasn' t given permission and found out later that he found the deer and checked it in as his own.

If you are the land owner I don' t beloeve you even need a hunting license to hunt your own land so the tag issue might be mute. #1Gamewarden where are you?
In WI. that is only true for small game. Allthough in the CWD Eradication Zone, no lisence is needed for land owners. Where is #1? I thought I heard he was in an accident? Motorcycle maybe?

#1 had a motorcycle accident, really messed him up, he is on crutches and probably will be for quite a while. I will be honest and say I think he quit coming around the board for a while because of a bozo busting on LEO' s in the off-season forum.

Here in Louisiana they about to pass a law on trespassing, where to go on someone' s land you have to have written premission on your body to enter their land. They say you will need to renew it every year.

Chiming in from NY.

Can' t track on private property with or without weapon, unless you have permission. Encon can' t even help. The landowner has the ability to dictate that the animal lay and suffer until it dies if they wish, and the meat ROT.

There is a lady who owns property which borders the farm I hunt on. If we shoot a deer and it goes on her property and dies, she immediately gets the backhoe out and burys it so we can' t sneak back and get it later.

It' s only rumor, but it has been rumored that she has actually shot at deer hunters on her property.

She' s wacked.

Anyhow...as to going on unarmed in the places where that is required.....You leave your firearm UNATTENDED and UNSECURED leaning on their gate??? That sounds very irresponsible to me. Is this really how it' s done?

Thanks;

Darrin

You have no right in any State to enter private property for ANY reason, unless you have permission. I doubt the veracity of stories of a Game Warden pressuring a land owner in order to enter premesis to retrive game. Dead animals on someone' s own property is not the of landowner' s action or responsibility. Unless a major crime is committed this is a very thin legal line. Look at all the stuff LEO' s have to do to carry out a drug search or warrant.

Face it you lost your deer, not your tag.

MarkIIVT-

Your post was not entirely correct. North Dakota is one state where you do not need permission of the landowner to enter their property. As long as the land is not posted and there are no standing crops, you can legally enter the property without the owners consent/permission/knowledge. There may be other states where this is the case, but ND is the only one I know about. Otherwise I agree with your post.

No doubt you don' t know jack about Florida law and willfully allowing game to waste.

Look at it this way. I' m hunting 100 yards from the property line, and I shoot a deer. It runs onto the neighbors property. I go ask premission to retrieve it and the petapuke gets snotty cause she hates people who eat meat. I know I got a good hit and have the blood sign to prove it. I call the Fish & game oficer, he looks at the blood sign agrres the deer is dead by now (1 hour after the shot) and goes to speak to the woman next door. The game warden has enough EVIDENCE to show the deer has expired...she wants it to rot... and Florida has a law against willfully allowing game to go to waste.
Dead animals on someones own property is not the landowners action or responsibility.
Sometimes it is... The evidences show a deer is dead and she wants it to rot ... but Florida (like I said before) has a law against that.


I doubt the veracity of stories of a game warden pressuring a landowner in order to enter premesis to retrieve game.
Nice way of calling someone a liar.
