I woulda just went and got it with the cameras off and not even bothered to call anyone. The chances of the warden actually seeing you are slim to none. Its better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
Not at Radnor Lake State Park, where this occured. Visitors such as you and I cannot even "stray" off the dedicated walking trails when visiting. No way the hunter was going to "legally" retrieve this buck once it crossed onto Radnor. I spoke with a Radnor Ranger recently and he is said it is a very strict and rigid ran park that allows for walking in nature, and photographing all sorts of wildlife as you can almost pet some of them. That should tell you all you need to know about "hunting" these deer.I think the ranger might have come out and dragged the buck back over the line for the hunter.
I usually am not armed at night on my own farms
Interesting. If he'd had problems with the Park Ranger in the past, I wonder why he thought this situation would have turned out any differently than it did.He didn't try to go over his head until he had no other choice. He has been heckled by park rangers numerous times at that spot.
Ain't that the truthHe's as legal as he can be. And although he was bummed about the situation, he knew that was the hand he was dealt. The rest of us are the ones that got mad.
Wanton waste laws only apply to waterfowl in this state.Sad situation where a hunter could be charged with wanton waste laws a mile down the road for not trying to recover a game animal, and yet this Tool forces just that to happen, after actually going to and photographing the deer!!! Sad sad reality for TN. Shameful and embarrassing really!
Also apply for game on Wildlife Management Areas (WMA's).Wanton waste laws only apply to waterfowl in this state.

Easy, if a deer runs and dies on Chickasaw state park....will you help the guy remove it before it rots and starts stinking?Which this isn't
Huge difference between Chickasaw state park and this place, and I know a couple that were caught hunting safety zones in Chickasaw and were ticketed.Easy, if a deer runs and dies on Chickasaw state park....will you help the guy remove it before it rots and starts stinking?
I'm sure you know the guy or gal.
