Trespassers

[trimmer21]

you really need to read page 5 (posting of land) in the N.B. hunting regulations. Your statement is totally wrong.

Please see my post #31. BTW,what Bushmoose and Rick said,too. I think you just got "owned". ROFL

I did. It strange this topic comes up ever years for the past 20 years. Experience hunters still can’t comprehend..

We had that exact experience.
A phone call was made to the landowner in order to enter the neighbors property and fetch the moose.
Bush Moose comments- Seems a huge gray area to just walk on a property and say you are looking for a downed animal..
Would be a great learning experience to have that clarified within a statute somewhere if in fact you can legally trespass to retrieve an animal.

It's crystal clear. You cannot enter private property to retrieve an animal without permission. There is no statute that covers this other than trespassing under the TPA or the FWCA.

I believe it is even covered in the hunting regs.

Good read

Others where co drove across wheat field had to leave truck sitting till damages paid. Not everyone out in a field is a hunter or poacher some are farmers just taking soil samples or cutting a down tree along a fence line

Kinda interesting, I have had a yonge CO walk into my camp from the road,land all posted,walk the 1/2 kl right up to the cabin, which is a dwellinghouse.Once was during deer season, the other time during Turkey season. I have no real problem with it but my little AVATAR has the run of the land around the cabin.He
generally stays within 120 feet of the cabin. I think I would feel pretty upset however if my pet got shot by a trigger happy CO who might be afraid of dogs.There is also a posted sign 60 feet from the cabin about the dog, which has been ignored.What,s a fella going to do.

Why did he walk? Was your gate closed and locked? That's a pretty stupid move with your mutley running loose. Full-of-themselves rookies always need to learn the hard way,don't they? LOL

No the first time at the deer season he parked the ATV at my closed over gate (not locked) and walked in, Sunday morning of all things.The second time was Spring Turkey season and I was not even there,he spoke with the wife and asked if I was Turkey hunting,something I have never done.

I would be more than happy to see a CO walking through my property looking for resource violations.

When I was a kid the local CO used to walk miles of rivers through private land looking for poachers before seasons opened up. He was of the opinion that some poachers weren't stupid enough to do their poaching from the roadside. He was able to get many convictions to prove that he was right.

These days, they hardly have time to react to complaints they get, let alone do proactive enforcement.

That’s too bad if your wife feels that way, it could potentially affect your hunting too.
Keep her safe!

IMO everyone who is out in the woods hunting private land, should know the boundaries of said land. Especially if given permission.

My Example: This year during controlled, I hunted a different property with one of my hunting buddies and his family. In hindsight, I should have stuck to the other property to hunt (as I did not take a deer in the unfamiliar woods) Anyways, The Monday Morning, I was not able to make it out with him and his family. He had not hunted the woods before either. His uncle and father in law told him to go into the woods, and on the right, there will be a tree stand, make sure you don't hunt over the field behind you as it is property we don't have permission on.

So, he walks in and actually walks too far, and goes in to a stand. He sees 4 deer in the field behind him, but does not shoot as he doesn't have permission, and is waiting for them to go into the woods. 10 Minutes later, He is seen in the stand by the owner of the field, and yells at him to come down as he is on private land. He does so, and talks to the owner, and realizes that he missed the stand he was supposed to be in and was on a different property he was not allowed to be on. Obviously a mistake, and he felt terrible. Good thing he did not shoot at the deer in the field. He then moved.

Moral of the story, ensure you know where your boundaries are when hunting private land you have been given permission on.

This sort of thing happened at my camp when I had friends over hunting, same stuff, usually with the same guy wandering all over the place either on foot or ATV
and upsetting neighbours by going onto their land.Must have run in the family as his brother did the same at another camp,both of them had been ejected from?
Some hunters cannot sit still for 5 minutes and feel the need to wander near and far.In the end thankfully they moved on,but I am sure plenty of camps have
had the same problem.
But thanks for posting this as "trespassers" can be different in every situation.
