Recovering Deer on another Property
Posted on 8/13/23 at 5:37 pm

What’s the Louisiana law about recovering a deer shot on a piece of land you have permission to hunt but, the animal crosses over onto another property you don’t?

You contact the property owner for permission to retrieve your deer. If you can't contact them, or they say no, that's the end of it.

Turn the dog loose on the trail. Now you are retrieving your domestic dog, unarmed.

For the longest time I thought you had a legal right to retrieve a deer but an incident between 2 of my neighbors told me otherwise

In Georgia. You can contact and get permission. If not granted the game warden can escort to retrieve is my understanding.

And the landowner has the right to shoot your dog harassing wildlife on his private property.

Been there in the mid 1980’s cap.

Those people in the video forgot the 3-S rule.
It’s shoot, SHOVEL, and shut up.
Not shoot, shovel, and YouTube.

I figured the post I replied to was joking about the other thread!

If that is a risk, then try to take a shot to the CNS like the head or neck or high shoulder so that it will drop right there where he stood when you shot.

You might want to actually read that section. The exception to Criminal Trespass is:
quote:
(6) The owner of a domestic animal while in the sole process of merely retrieving his domestic animal from immovable property and not having a firearm or other weapon on his person.

Few things we need to make clear here.
#1 Lease President and Lease members are not the landowner in this situation and have zero authority on granting or denying you access and can be contested. (Lease presidents and members power trip over this to no end)
#2 Only the landowner or land management company (Hancock, Rayonier, Molpus, etc.) can give or deny you this access. (keep these numbers in your phone for land that borders you)
#3 If landowner denies you access in Louisiana a game warden can then be called and escort you to your animal on another property to prevent wanton waste issue.
Yes, it is a nice gesture and the proper moral and ethical thing to do from a safety standpoint to let a lease president and or its members know what's happening, but they hold absolutely ZERO authority in the action of you retrieving your animal, and sometimes it's hard for them to swallow. We don't have the best sportsmen out there today.

Since it’s not hunting season now I assume you’re talking about for future situations.
Do you know who the landowner is? Unless they are assholes a simple introduction with you first giving them permission to come on your property if ever needed or letting them know your willing to help them get unstuck or help with a downed tree or using your properties road for easier access to a portion of their land will go a long way towards them actually helping you retrieve the deer.
If they are asshoes use a 300wm and high shoulder everything.

Yes, you can get your dog, but you cant pick persimmons, or pick up a dead deer and haul it back.

We chat a few times a year, I only asked that they give me a call or text to insure I know they are coming over. I will be glad to help, but also dont want to have any type of safety issues with them wandering over during hunting season. I know that I personally would never put them in jeopardy, but you cant be too neighborly or too safe.

Just curious, what do y'all do if it's a 70 degree night, the landowner denies permission to retrieve, and a warden can't make it out to help until morning? Just leave it to spoil? I'd have trouble stomaching that.
I've never had that issue, the neighbors where I hunt don't care and will usually get excited and come help.
ETA: I just checked google and it says a simple trespass ticket is between 100 and 500 in Louisiana. IDK if I'd let meat rot for that.

Easier to ask forgiveness than permission

You just gotta know how to do things cap. You not sneaky enough.
What yall do ? Run around with a neon sign with blinking lights that says
Here i Am- See Me
Them city folk blacktop agents are what you think of.
Yall gotta learn to be low profile. Kill a nice one, sneak it out. Put low in bed. Put tag in box at a different unit. Go home. No facebook.
The only problem is if a gun season is open. Then u got that darn orange on.
