What you have copied is law as it relates to tracking with a Dog sir, I have hunted there and confirmed law via their DNR that while landowner permission attempts are encouraged it is not mandatory. You must be unarmed, the only person crossing fence, and have active blood trail.
Lmao, who you calling sir?! 🤣🤣🤣 Im just a dumbass that likes to start shit.

I will look further into it when I have time.
 
two important factors to consider here in my mind scrolling through the recent posts
1. Why people are hunting 1/2 acre parcels to begin with (often it’s the only decent access they have)
2. Why are we so willing to allow kids x,y and z, but when they become adults they’re fucked lol. This is y I don’t support 99% hunter of recruitment on a large scale. A family member introducing a son, grand child, niece/nephew into a family tradition is not what I am referring too

Outside of migratory birds I see no law pertaining to wanton waste. The only legal requirement is to tag and check a deer once recovered. Legally, it would seem that you could shoot a deer and leave it lay where it died with no consequences.

This appears to be true, but I bet old green jeans would be at your doorstep if you were consistently doing this, outside of crop damage permits of course. Not sure what grounds they'd have to charge you, but it sure seems illegal on some level, certainly unethical.

Doubt it. I reported dumped deer for years that just had heads cut off them and backstraps taken out.

Mennonites been doing it since they moved into Highland county 30 years ago. Eating their vegetables. Spot light and a 22 round in the guts
