ECIAfarmer - 11/20/2025 15:58 I don't know your location, in Iowa there are laws. I believe it reads: You can track your wounded deer unto others property WITHOUT your weapon. I would suggest they put on some orange as well and let them know the others have the same rule. Would be good if discuss the situation as a group so they can meet each other and share responsibilities.
Yep, legally in IA if they wound a deer and it jumps the fence they can go look for it. Without their weapon
I'd still like the heads up that someone was doing it, heck I'd help look for it on my side. But legally if a deer is shot on parcel A and dies on parcel B they can go get it and drag it back to A without any permission or issue
Personally, I despise that rule. Most states aren’t that way. It really is a violation of private property rights. Also despise the roadway being public hunting. Very, very little good ever comes from road hunting. Get lots of litter during hunting season though.Glad South Dakota got to be known as the top pheasant hunting destination. As being in a county that borders Minnesota, it was unbelievable to see the number of Minnesota license plates cruising around 20 years ago. Thankfully, that’s fairly uncommon now. 99 % of my issues 20 years ago were from non resident trespassers. All because road hunting is allowed. Every acre I own, I sweated out getting it paid for. Not too much too ask to just want to be left alone. Don’t like it? Fine, go buy your own place. The state shouldn’t be allowed to screw up my private property rights.
