I am the resident/owner of some land assessed as agriculture. Because of this I qualify to be exempt from purchasing a license in order to legally hunt. I have recently been informed that if my deer were to be able to make it onto the neighbors property (with whom I have permission to retrieve deer) that I would have to purchase a license in order to stay legal regardless of the wanton waste requirement to make a reasonable attempt to retrieve the animal. This is sort of contradictory because the law says I have to attempt to retrieve the game, but I cannot retrieve it legally even though it was initially shot legally.
In short, is the person correct in telling me that even though I am exempt from the license requirement to shoot the deer, I would still have to purchase the license to retrieve the deer?

If you are exempt from the license requirement, you would not be required to purchase a license to retrieve a deer legally taken on your property that crossed the property line. If there was any doubt as to your intentions, the officer could determine on what property the deer was actually shot verses the property the deer was tracked on to after being shot.
