I was listening to the Kifaru podcast and the gritty bowman and they both referenced chasing and retrieving animals on property where you don’t have permission. It raises some questions for me.
- If I shoot a deer and it goes on someone’s property to die and I can’t retrieve it, do I have to punch my tag?
- If it is on their property but alive it is the property of the state/public but what if it drops dead because I shot it and it ran on his land? Who owns it then? Can the landowner keep it? Does he need a tag?
- if the landowner can’t take it at that time how long before he can collect say the antlers or bones?
Aaron was talking to a game warden and they made some interesting points.
I would be curious to hear both ethical arguments and from anyone who knows the rules and Regs to cover this stuff.
