This is more of a thought provoker than a question. This didn't happen to me but it did happen about 5 miles away from my property to another deer hunter in Shelby County Illinois. The hunter took a shot at a deer, in fact it was a 12 point buck. Both the hunter and the deer were on the property the hunter had the right to hunt. The deer dropped about 50 yards onto the adjoining property that the hunter did not have the right to hunt. The property owner of the land that the deer dropped on claimed the deer as his own after the hunter had retrieved the deer by crossing the property line. There were no fences or markings on the property line and the hunter assumed he had not trespassed.

In the same scenario, if you are the hunter what would you do? How about if you were the land owner?
