Tagging question

Turtl
I am not trying to sound like a jerk, but I don't like either of your questions or your reasoning. I think that it all reflects a moral lacking and selfserving attitude that says "what ever pleasures me more is the right thing to do". If you had access to 1000's of acres why in the world are you hunting next to your own fence line but on your neighbor's land? If you had a landowners tag to fill why wouldn't you be on your own ground? You imply that if the DNR didn't see you shoot and couldn't follow a blood trail it is perfectly fine to BREAK the LAW. I usually don't like comparisons but the first thing that popped in to my mind was, if your wife was out of town and the gorgous neighbor came over for a good time, is it still cheating if your wife didn't see you or couldn't follow a blood trail? What is right is right and what is cheating is cheating no matter what spin or justification we try to put on it. If you insist on keeping the most "doors open" then hunt where you are supposed to and stop trying to straddle the fence especially if it is yours. I can't help but feel that if a NR hunting the neighbor's land had shot the deer on your land and you were in a stand on your own land just waiting for a clear shot at the same deer, you would be jumping that same fence screaming mad.
 
They don't call it a landowners tag for nothing guys. Just be lucky you can get one

If you have committed to shoot the deer obviously it is one you wanted and it really shouldn't matter whether you put you landowner tag on it or your paid tag. If it's not on your land then you simply have to put your paid tag on it. Since you are shooting on the neighbors land obviously they don't care if you hunt. So you probably have treestands located somewhere on their property. If you shot the buck there would you still consider putting your landowner tag on it? I know this has steered quite aways off from the original question, but I think you know the answer because after all you did the right thing and put your state tag on it. Props to you my friend

Now that would be funny. Should of waited a week.....
 
if you are hunting your neigibors fenceline, and you do not have permission to hunt on your neighbors land, then ethically, you are behaving like a jerk. and once your arrow crosses the fence, you are breaking the law.

if you and the neighbor have some kind of agreement, and you shoot a deer on his land, LEGALLY you should put your statewide tag on it. this question is pretty self explanitory. if you kill a deer, not on your land, how on earth do you think your landowners tag is justified? granted, the vast majority of people are just going to drag the deer under the fence and use the LO tag. just because you launch the arrow from your side, means nothing

I always get a kick out of this time of year. Guys are so stir-crazy, and screwed up by cabin fever that most every topic or question gets roughed up. Not saying it's good or bad - it's just the cycle of life (the hunter's life).

This reminds me of the big shed on the other side of the fence (post). Do you jump over the fence and grab it or let the tree rats have it? Bonkers right, I'm not willing to lose hunting privileges but I'll risk a speeding ticket.

hunt on all4s
 
Amazing how someone asks a question about hunting a fencline and shooting over the fence and it get's all sorts of turned backwards.

Bowmaker, I didn't feel as though you're being a jerk, but you're certainly misinformed about me and my morals. I don't understand how you take my "scenario" and skew it into the response you've provided. Don't forget the question posed included having two tags (paid and landowners). Perhaps there's some discussion about what it means to hunt a fenceline? I don't know. I do know that if you're hunting the neighbors property then you have to have a Statewide permit. Those are the rules, but if you're in a tree above the fenceline and the deer is headed towards your land (aka the fence) and you shoot...to me if the deer jumps the fence and dies on my ground it's a legal to use your landowners tag.

If that's wrong, perhaps I'm missing something in the Deer Regulations that states otherwise.

Before I get bombarded, I will say if you have strictly a landowners tag, you should stay on your land and harvest the animals on your land. BUT, What if you go deer hunting on your land with only a landowners tag (along the same fenceline) and shoot a deer on your land and it jumps the fence and eventually dies a half mile away? Does your landowners tag become un-usable?

BTW - I don't own any land, and I don't hunt fencelines...I'm replying to a question of someone who does.
 
Point made Bonker, about paying a speeding ticket vs. losing hunting rights.

Call me Jim Zumbo for that comment without thinking it all the way through.

in your "scenario" do you, or do you not, have permission from your neighbor to shoot deer on his side of the fence. if the deer is headed your way, why would you shoot him on the other side, then he jumps the fence and dies on yours.
 
TeeRoy,

In the scenario I would have permission to hunt the neighbors as I assume Wauk did/does. I would expect that hunting the fence line one would be on the neighbors ground but facing his own land...Deer comes from behind you to a shooting lane by the fence. If the deer jumps the fence you won't have a shot.

SO, now that I posted this above message, if you only had landowners tag, it would be Illegal because you would have to be on your neighbors property to be in that stand.

I guess I'm a little s l o w...
 
lets just try to kill this, and put it in the ground.

if you are hunting on an LO tag, you must be hunting on, and shoot deer on, your land only, to be legal. if you shot a deer on your neighbors side of the fence, you would (by law) need to have a statewide tag in your pocket at that time
 
Exactly Camo Man.

The boys need to get out in the woods and chase something around.

I would ask a CO and find out for sure.

Who said cabin fever? I agree. Quite a stir over a simple question.


I'd say you did the right thing.

turkey season is commin boys!!!!
we are almost in the clear!!!
 
For the record, I had permission to hunt the neighbors and to have a treestand there. I had both a landowner and a paid anysex tag in my pocket at the time. The deer at no time was in the neighbors.

I asked the question for the LEGAL answer only because, I have seen some f'd up laws that a person couldn't amagine would written that way or enforced, but are.

I'll just ask a DNR law enforcement officer next time instead of posting here.

I can't argue with that reasoning!
 
Ah, don't do that, Waukon. It was a good, legitimate question. Don't worry about people getting all razzed. Just remember my motto: "Life's like a bowl of granola - if you take out the fruits and the flakes, all you have left are the nuts." That pretty much sums up . . . well, me and most others on this site
