Blood Trail??

[stragglelake]

Doesn't say anywhere he was served a ticket. As for the rest of your post it makes about zero sense.

You are correct, my mistake on the ticket.
As for the rest of the post, if you choose to not see it does not mean it isn't true.
Someone has to pay for those 3 trucks and 3 C.O.s !!

What kind of guy calls the MNR for something like this.....

[Guelph1981]

"I shot a deer on property I was allowed to be on. It ran and died APPPROX 40-50 ft away. I went and got it. I didn't know I had crossed into the neighbouring property to get it, as there is no clear boundary, nor is there any posted signs where I was (a well-used ATV trail)"

If you didnt know you crossed into neighbours to retrieve the deer how can you be so certain you werent on the neighbours property when you shot the deer? Im not saying you knew or didnt either way but if thats what you say in court someone is going to ask. And no offence but if you live in the area and know everyone you should have known who owned the property you set up right on the boundary of and asked if it was cool to retrieve on his land if needed. Maybe the guy that had permission to be on that property had been hunting all morning to have you come strolling in and walk right through his area and it ticked him off. Someone had to have seen you on that property to say something to the landowner that reported you to the mnr. Reading your version of events is leaving more questions than it is giving answers. Hopefully you get it all sorted out and things dont get too serious for you. Do like others have said and take lots of pictures of where everything was and hopefully you can get whatever charges they hit you with dropped or reduced.

Well obviously the other hunter in the area didnt like him being there so cried to the owner about sparky trespassing. Dont know why the owner would call over a deer retrieval. Maybe he has nothing better to do or has a serious trespassing problem on his property and this was the last straw for him. Or maybe the guy hunting the property leased it from the owner so when he complained the owner felt obligated to do something about it. Who knows? Could be any number of reasons.

I ran into the other hunter the next day in the property where I was hunting. He asked if I shot a deer and I told him i did (I was proud that I called a deer into range!). I know the guy, he's a bit of an , but figured we are both hunting and maybe we could chat about the area, deer sign, etc. I wouldn't have said anything to him had I known he was going to run to the other property owner and rile him up. I didn't think anything of it as I had felt I had done nothing wrong. I know it's impossible to break the entire story down so people can understand on here, so I won't get into the finer details. Basically a guy ratted me out to a property owner that I didn't know, and had never met. Did I do something wrong by dragging my deer off of his property unknowingly? Maybe. Was there intent? No. Was it that serious? No. Did he have that entrance posted? No. And it goes on. I will say that if this does not go to court, or charges are dropped, I will be speaking to a lawyer about civil action. They cannot do this and get away with it. And the old excuse "I am just doing my job" does not suffice. As the first person on any scene, it is up to them to decide if things should go this far. People must also keep in mind that this "investigation" has probably cost upwards of $10,000. And, we are all paying for it. Imagine how many other nonsensical cases are happening right now? Do the math. Plain silliness.

Was it posted or was there a fence where you crossed into the other property to get the deer??

That will be the biggest factor in whether you get charged or not.

[Duckguy]

Good luck with civil action.....if it doesn't go to court it means it was just an investigation that no charges were laid in.

If it does go to court, it means the officer or the crown felt there were enough grounds to lay a charge.

Bottom line is that by the sounds of it, you did break the law.

AGREED!!
Same people that are paying for me to be harassed 2 times in the same day on Simcoe while perch fishing.
You would have thought we had a meth lab going out there the way they would rush in and look around the hut like we are hiding Osama Bin Ladin.
Little bit much for a couple old guys catching a couple perch.
