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.

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

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

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

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!

---

deer shot on a piece of land you have permission to hunt but, the animal crosses over onto another property you don’t

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.

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.

And you still dont have your deer. The whole point is to RECOVER the deer. You may have been the worst green jeans in history.

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

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.

You just gotta know how to do things cap. You not sneaky enough.

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.
