Nice attack on a person with a genuine problem. maybe you will have a similar situation one day. Congratulations
I own land with very good deer habitat on it and i have never had a issue with the problem you are whining about. Yes, i have people driving by a lot during rifle season i just dont let it bother me anymore. 99 percent aren't the people you are allegedly dealing with, have you taken your harris waltz signs down yet?

I’ve been on the hunter side of a wounded deer entering posted land,had a massive blood trail going into posted land. Knocked on door, denied access. Called game warden, he was denied entry. Deer was left. Century code trumped game laws. Nice try weaver.

Maybe we need a law that any landowner who denies a lawful hunter entry to recover legally killed game be charged with wanton waste? ...duel...

I would have fought this since during deer season, a hunter is legally allowed to enter private property unarmed to retrieve a wounded animal. Unless I'm wrong precedents has been established during hunting season to deter game to go wasted where as a game warden who witnesses this shot could give a ticket to a hunter for not legally retrieving the wounded deer even though it's on posted property.

I can't believe this thread is still going. Weaver, what county is this rampant illegal activity taking place? I would like to pull up the court docs to see how often this is being reported or prosecuted. If you aren't turning these people in then you are part of the problem. It wouldn't take much of a detective to figure out if they actually shot an animal that made it onto your land or are just trespassing. Get the license plate and call the sheriff, that easy. Have you ever hunted out west? There are many stories of people legally shooting elk and deer on public land that die on private land. The landowners in many cases will not give them permission to retrieve them and the animal is left to rot. We don't need that here.
