[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5214577, member: 1409"] Any time any of us choose to hunt on [I]ANY[/I] property line, the other side of which we do [I]NOT[/I] have permission to hunt, something like what happened, can happen, and it's on the hunter first & foremost for [U]his choice[/U] to hunt so close to a property line, [I]WITHOUT[/I] an advance discussion regarding "what if" I shoot a deer and it runs across the line. Any hunter can greatly reduce the risks of ending up in this type situation by archery hunting [U]at least[/U] 150 yds from a property line. In the case of this particular hunter, he was somewhat accomplished, and well knew that arrow-shot deer often run 50-plus yards before they die, and, can run in any direction. [U]I commend this hunter for being honest[/U]. But he should have known in advance there was a high chance any deer he arrowed would run back across that line, and [U]I do believe he knew he couldn't legally go get it[/U], but [U]his choice[/U] was to hunt there anyway. After it happened, he did the right thing, including in asking if exception could be made. So again, I commend him for being honest. I don't know anyone who does, but technically being an "enforcement" person regarding any the park's rules, some of those do include some wildlife issues? IMO, this was more a trespassing issue than a wildlife issue. [/QUOTE]
