Recovering Deer on another Property

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.

have permission to hunt but, the animal crosses over onto another property you don’t?

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.

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.

How close you huntin to the property line??

Just another reason to try and reach out to the landowners around you before hunting season begins. Just to introduce yourself.
