How could you retrieve a dead deer and take it to someone without a TAG?? If your in possion of any Deer you must have some type of tag for it!! A piece of paper called a landowner tag.

OK, I thought the the quote was.."that landowner cannot legally take possession of that deer"...
And the CO was quoted to say ...."DNR officer told him if he(landowner) even touched the deer he would get a ticket".....

That is what I was told by my friend... the officer was not happy with this Amish man, guess they had a lot of run in's with this guy.

I believe if the landowner wants a deer that has expired and is on his property as long as he tags it, the DNR will say it is his deer no matter who shot it. This sort of thing happens all of the time. I had an incident 2 years ago where on opening morning of firearms season I found a dead button buck that someone had shot and crossed over on to my property and expired. I called all of the adjacent neighbors and no one would confess to shooting the deer, and I was more than willing to turn it over and help them get it out. So I called the DNR, explained the situation and asked if I could tag it as a bonus county deer with my lifetime license. He said no problem and that if I didn't want to burn a tag he would come out and issue me one. I was not going to leave that deer in the field just to go to waste. BTW the neighbor had a ladder stand on his property within sight of the dead deer, and I know someone had been sitting in it that morning. This is the problem I see with our laws and officers, I am totally on their side, but there is so much wiggle room between them all Another friend was told they had to get a salvage tag for a dead deer they found on their property.

At no time is a landowner required to allow anybody, including an ICO, on their property to recover a deer, and they do not have to do anything with the deer. They do have the option of tagging and doing with it what they choose.
In this case, I would guess the deer wasn't in too great of danger of immediately falling over dead.

Greg, I believe your wrong on Indiana's rule.. I was told by several ( 5) DNR officers whoever made the first killing shot . That would mean anyone could shoot a deer on the ground and claim it. ^^^^^^^ wives tail Not true at all ... no law on it at all but common thought the shot that puts it down takes it '

Isn't that what I said .... Last or killing shot??? The last shot would be the "killing shot" !!! How would shooting a dead Deer be a last Killing shot??? BTW..... Maybe I should worded my original my post differently!!! no.. maybe I read it wrong. I was told if 2 or more people shoot a deer, the first killing shot is the owner of the deer. It can be read a couple ways is not a rule of the "rule" book John nothing to read there .. Landowners have all rights here too no matter what .Because a landowner will not let a person on his land to retrieve deer don't make them a slob .They have every right to say no and may have issues with those hunters .. /that is why hunter neighbor relationships are very important to settle before ever hunting next to them.

/shrug. Would like to have a couple more details about it like shot placement. Regardless ,the kid is 11. I probably would have requested some of the meat and given the kid the deer. I know we can go on about life lessons for hunting, you don't always win, blah, blah but this is a young man just beginning to learn to hunt. I'm perfectly capable of harvesting another deer, killing another duck or what have you. I refuse to ruin someone's first kill like what was done to me. Ditto, or just said since you slowed it down it's yours. Hard to tell without knowing the whole story, and the relationship that the neighbors have. If they were like one set of neighbors that I have, I wouldn't whiz on the house if it was on fire.

My first deer hunt was with relatives in Pennsylvania. They claimed the possession rule was the first person to stick their knife into the deer owned it.

I am not starving or addicted to big antlers. If someone claimed a deer I shot or questioned who owned it I would give it up in a heart beat.

Watching that young man's face light up would of been enough for me, Rules are rules but once in a while it is nice to be nice Adult in my head should be ashamed of himself, it's a kid for heaven's sake.
