Its not just WA either. My son and I have property in Mississippi and he gets pics of hunters all season on our property. Down there they feel if they have hunted a piece some where back in the day they have the right no matter who owns it. We are ramping some stuff up to nip it without hurting the jackwagons

Like almost never... They aren't trespassing, hunters don't act like that. We are a team and we need full unfettered access to all public lands at all times for any and all reasons. We are America!

You know where I'm going with this... I'm sorry that you once again have to deal with trespassers who accidentally ignored your no trespassing signs and were just exercising their right to enter public lands. How many times a year would you guess hunters trespass on your property?

Rainier, sorry this is happening to you, people suck for sure. Unfortunately these kind of things ALWAYS come along with owning land.......anywhere.

Dennis, FWIW, there is a HUGE difference(most would say) between folks wanting to hop a corner, compared to the happenings at Rainiers place.

The only time their not trespassing is when they're at a family reunion picking up chicks.

Rainier10:
Owning land can certainly be frustrating. Like I say the good ones are those that trespass through on foot. The problem is once you cross that line it starts to get blurry. Oh heck I can through here quicker if I just take my ebike, Honda 90, dirt bike, quad, side by side, truck.  Dragging my deer to that gate is too much work I’ll just cut this rusty barbed wire fence that is keeping this guys cows on that he grazes in the spring, I’m sure he will ride the fence line and repair it before next grazing season. Oh look there is a nice shed antler, I bet he has plenty and won’t miss just this one. I’m almost to DNR but look at that nice buck, it’s really close to DNR, I’ll just shoot it and if I get caught I’ll say it was on DNR and then ran onto private.

There are private roads going through my property, it was a timber company lot and they had a road system. There is an easement for DNR to use the road for logging operations but the easement specifically says not for public use. The DNR map shows the road as a non green dot road. They just don’t have the officers to monitor and enforce it. When the timber company owned it it was feel free to hunt. Now I own it and it by written permission only which we grant to a lot of people, mostly seniors and youth hunters.

This is a question on trespass in Idaho.
A buddy told me that your allowed to retrieve wounded or downed game from private property.
If you shoot it on public and blood trail leads to private your allowed to retrieve it.

Is this true?
I've never hunted Idaho ,so don't throw the book at me.
Just a question.

Here in Washington
I've seen a property owner deny permission to retrieve game,then hang there tag on someones deer.


A many year ago.....
I shot a buck, blood trailed to private property line.
Buck went right down the line for awhile,then off into private.
Which at that point ,I stopped.
Tried to get permission,no one home,ect.

Yes I did the right thing,but it does tear me up.( Not knowing if I would of trespassed,could I recovered the buck)
With so many that trespass and get away with it.
Yes I know I should take better shots.
Stuff happens,deer turn at the shot,or wind or other factors you didn't account for.

I guess all I'm saying is, sometimes it's very hard to do the right thing. Very easy to do the wrong thing.
Some people just don't have it in them to do the right thing.
