I'd say this is about as close as I care to get!  She stumbled forward a couple of step as seen in this picture, coming to rest on the property boundary.  Graybird "Make no mistake, it's not revenge he's after ... it's the reckoning." | ||

Several years ago my nephew lung shot a big cow elk near Craig. She took off on a death run and actually fell in a section of downed barbed wire that marked the property line. The head and front quarters were off the property he had permission to hunt but the hind quarters weren't. He still opted to keep the whole elk though.  | |||

You would have to be a pretty miserable POS if you called foul on an animal shot legally on an adjoining property and it fell dead on yours, when the person asked for permission to recover it. Even a worse POS if you decided to KEEP the animal from the hunter who had asked for this permission. BTW, I grew up on a large farm in Pa. so I know all of the land owner woes but it is, in my experience more about ego than anything else when this act takes place. Incidentally, we allowed anyone to hunt the propery that asked for permission to do so...but did not become arrogant to those found there without permission. They were kindly directed to ask next time and to ensure they respect the property while they were there. Nobody that respected the property was ever throw off. Moral compass anyone? | |||

I was hunting with my buddy in MT he hits an antelope and she runs to the public boundary and crawls under the fence to private property amd lays down literally with in five feet of the fence. For whatever reason about 30 seconds later, she turns around and crawls back on the public side and we finished her off. Mike Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

It was a fun weekend! I wish the weather wouldn't have been so bad. I'm already looking forward to next year. Thanks again for the push Rick! Not sure if I would have gotten on that herd had you not sent them my way! I hope we can make it out on Friday. Graybird "Make no mistake, it's not revenge he's after ... it's the reckoning." | |||

I think that one is good to go. I actually had a friend shoot a good buck that crawled on to neighboring land and the landowner said he could not get it. Disappointing, so my friend, after several tries to talk the landowner in to allowing him to recover, turned the ladnowner in the the warden for failure to tag the animal and wanton waste. The landowner decided he could get it when the warden showed up. Such a waste of the warden's time.

Good eating and on the right side of the line too. That is some brutally dry country!

I hunted a ranch where sll neigboring rsnchers where fighting with each other. I found a really nice bull dead about 10 feet across the property line on the ranch we were hunting. looked to be dead about 3 days spoiled lion eating on it. Looked to have been shot on the other side of fence and fell dead across the line. Talked to my rancher he said that sob next door will not let anybody go get game that falls dead on his ranch. I dought he even call me and ask to do it on mine. He said make sure they don't cross the line when you shoot them. A waste of a good bull but when there is thousands of dollars riding on haveing critters on your side people do funny things. | |||

Congratulations, Alex! The first one is always memorable. ...I say that hunters go into Paradise when they die, and live in this world more joyfully than any other men. -Edward, duke of York ". . . when a man has shot an elephant his life is full." ~John Alfred Jordan "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt.

Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand Cogito ergo venor- KPete “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest.

Good job to all! Wish I could of been there more as well. Still it was a good time, and my daughter really enjoyed shooting dogs with Ted and Trish.  Did Jeff let you into more property on Friday? | |||

Here in Texas, if something is shot and it crosses the fence TP&W encourages the hunter to contact the local GW and that person will contact the neighbor and go get the critter. You just need to be sure that you have evidence that the critter was shot on your side of the line. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

Yeah, we got on the other property. Saw 5 coyotes at one time, there was a dead cow that we think were bringing them in. We about 5 mins too late getting to the property as another hunter beat us to the gate. He ended up getting a shot on some antelopes but pushed everything further south. We never saw a single antelope on the big pasture to the north yesterday. Dave, ended up killing a yearling doe no the property to by the lake yesterday afternoon. The boys also missed a doe to the north of your brother's place, but she was on the move. All told, not bad for the group with the few numbers of antelope we saw!
