It's asking for trouble and I could see how it could cause friction with the landowner. I look at it as having respect for others property that they worked hard to pay for. When I hunt near private I try to keep a 100 yard buffer when I set up. Sure many times sign looks better right at the boundary but it's not worth the hassle to me to push it for my own benefit. With a 100 yard buffer and good shot placement the deer will most times not make it back to the private land if it came from there. I would hate to put a killing shot on a big buck and have a landowner refuse to track and recover it on his land. Over the years I have heard many instances of this happening and every one the guy was hunting right on the property line creating conflict with the landowner.
Thank you Dewey. You get it.
If someone asked permission of me to retrieve a deer, and their stand was not right on the border, I'd let them no problem. A guy with a stand facing my land less than 20 yards from the border, no way I'd let him.......If coarse people that are willing to push the envelope, wouldn't ask to retrieve a deer anyway.....
Is no wonder you can't knock on doors and get permission anymore. There is just no respect for the landowner. It's obvious between this thread and the coyote dog thread....
