Permission for Deer Retrieval

[Angus]

SK33t3r.
The ASK A CO webpage actually eludes to hunting small properties and suggests the common sense notion that "everybody is in a no win situation" when a deer goes onto anothers persons land.

How often has it happened that an area has had it's deer season removed or boundaries changed because it is determined that deer hunting can no longer be practiced legally ? Skeeter seems to need to trespass, and has wasted 5 deer. Is that practical or what we are about?

I don't know of any areas that been removed or boundaries changed.

FYI I did not waste 5 deer! coyotes ate'um. Those deer were left overnight because they could not be found or the shot was not quite perfect. At some point you need to make a decision. Every expert out there would say to back off and give the animal time. I done this successfully with some of the 85 deer I've bow harvested over my career and I've probably tracked twice that many for others! But the coyotes have been burning us real bad for the last few years. I shot a doe on Friday night. It went 60yds horizontally but about 80 yds vertically down into a ravine! As I collected my arrow a coyote started howling in the next ridge right out in the direction that my deer ran to! At that point I did not know my deer was at the bottom. The coyote was probably 125 yds from me straight across the ravine. Had she gone down and up the other side then mr coyote woulda been within yds of her!

So if and when I finally get a BAD arrow into a big buck there is no way I'm going to puzzy foot around wondering if I'll need permission 1/4 mile away in a direction that the buck might take. I would never hunt , or poach, or trespass on that property in a premeditated action. BUT if that buck goes that way then GOD must have intended for me to follow it! Also he just might skirt the property and I'm not going to risk losing him waiting till the morning, waiting for the last CO in the peninsula to get there.. etc etc. The way I see it is the moment I shot that arrow I have an agreement with that deer and my own conscience to recover it as quickly as possible. I also took an oath long ago as a hunter to respect the animal and not allow that animal to go to waste as per MNR guidelines. If I should get into a predicament with some anti hunter landowner then I'll take my lumps and pay the fine. I have no problem handling the fine or people. What I do have a problem with is my conscience will keep me awake at night because I let the animal and myself down.


And if all the greedy anti hunter landowners don't agree then I really don't give a rats azz!

I have lots of land to hunt and great relationships with them all!

Like I said before I've been doing this a long time and I've never had an issue of any kind!

But I will NOT change or sell out what my duties as a hunter are to the game, myself or my god!

Would it not be simpler to make that call to the local MNR to follow up on that deer and get permission from a landowner.

By the time you got to the deer you'd be putting your tag on what the coyotes left for you!

And just imagine the impression that landowner non hunter would have seeing what those coyotes do to that deer.

and it was all your fault!

So by the time the entire "ring around the rosy" was played out everyone was upset, the deer was wasted, coyotes were full, MNR made a trip for nothing, the anti hunter landowner hates us more then ever ... WHY? because we're so friggin politically correct.

The way I've done it no one is upset, deer is utilized, coyotes get a nice easy gutpile, all signs of the harvest are gone, .

I just don't see how the other "right "approach is in fact the "right"approach

G!

IT,S AMAZING on this site when subjects like this come up that each one has a personal opinion, then everyone fights like cats and dogs
to get there point across and tempers rise. Everyone should take a deep breath and relax it,s not worth arguing about.

Amen. Skeeter. Amen

I agree

but I'm not arguing ... just stating how I run my life and it seems others have issues with it!

Maybe they need to reread the rats azz part!

Did God, or whatever other voices in your head tell you to feed the coyotes with deer the rest of us harvest?
And God says it's OK to Trespass as long as you are doing his will ?

Hopefully the Devil isn't going to put you and the wrong landowner face to face.

You do realize that there is no god right? .
