butte

[the509hunter]

was up on the butte today and got stopped by a gammie and as usual he checked my rifle and my tags and asked how hunting was going and i told him i was trying to get my first buck. he went on to tell me yesterday a kid had shot his first buck and it was a 5x4 and it ran on to private property. the kid and dad did the right thing and went and found the land owners house and asked for permission to go get it in return he told them to f off and called the sherrif for tresspassing. the kid was 12 how messed up do u have to be to not let a 12 year old go claim his first buck and a nice one at that.

I am pretty sure the game department can asist with that

  The gammies can go retrieve it. At least that was what a gammie told me when I took my daughter to hunter ed classes.

[boneaddict]

I agree, he should have shown up at the door WITH the game dept.

[Ripper]

What a D-bag.

[briancorneal]

What happens if it's too late, or the game wardens can't retrieve it?  Does he get to still use his tag?

[the509hunter]

from what the gammie said he is still able to hunt

[Shed Stud]

This happened to a member here this year, lets see if wants to tell his story

[calib]

so did the gamie say if he went to assist in the recovery of the game? i thought if you shot an animal and it crossed a landowners line if you called fish and game there could be something done to recover it?

[BULLBLASTER]

It is ultimately up to.the landowner in WA if game can be retrieved. The gameys can talk to the owner but the owner does not have to allow even the gamey to recover the deer. D!ck headed move on landowners part but his choice. Only reason I would not allow recovery is if they were trespassing to.shoot deer. If it ran onto my property and died and the hunter asked for.permission to retrieve I would.help them. 

[the509hunter]

yea same here bullblaster if i had property i would would definantly go get it and if i already had mine tagged i would them them take there gun so they could tag another if they saw one i just dont get how ppl have to be such dicks just cause they own property not all are but alot of them

[sirmissalot]

I don't believe for one second all or most landowners are dicks. I think a landowner like this is probably just sick of being taken advantage of. How easy would it be to shoot a deer just on the wrong side of the fence of private property and then claim that you shot it legally but then it jumped the fence into private land? I know for a fact this happens often and if I were a landowner I too would get sick of it. Its unfortunate if this young kid shot his first deer legally and it jumped the fence, but I have my doubts that is the true story.

I have met a lot of landowners and fellow hunters in several states including this one, most people are willing to help out a good honest person. Just my
