Dunno….if it’s a foot , I’d be getting a lasso or crossing the line, but really any situation is unique. Shame to waste a deer, but the legal thing is probably on their side of the fence too.

Should have handled all that beforehand. Saves all the what if's.
So do you know? I doubt everyone that hunts a deer seeks or obtains permission from its neighboring property. Most know I’m sure, but it’s a what if question bud.
I think if the landowner denies access warden or not it rots . If I can see deer or know it’s dead I’m leaving my weapon and getting it , fine or not . It’s pretty easy to get permission though . I’ve got a couple different properties that’s archery only , done a little search on qpublic and got permission to recover. Most people don’t want a deer to rot

I’m sorta don’t ask don’t tell type in that situation
The warden can get the deer.
Do u have your local DNR officers number.
Are u hunting a small place with many neighbors ?
Also I’d get to know them and find out now & also ask the officer if he can and could go get it.
There’s certain questions we can answer just give best guess ! It’s up to YOU to find out all this if there’s a problem.
Good luck.

DNR will not make a neighbor let you get your deer.
Yea in this case it was told no recovery no question, by the landowner. They were even asked if they would accompany or escort. Not letting a deer rot, but wanting to do the right thing too. Also, not going to not hunt other permitted areas around this larger tract. I’ve always heard it’s their deer and it has to rot. Crazy it would come to such, but was curious if there was a loophole or legal route.
Was a DNR person there ?
Maybe @C.Killmaster has some info on this or can find out.

If you can go get your deer without permission.....can I go get my dog without permission ? Asking for a friend 
See how that works ???

Hasn’t happened yet, but it’s where it’s going from the permitted place once it happens, ahead of time. I was just trying to do the right thing in being neighborly and civil - doing what’s legal is first, doing what’s right next. Had no idea it would turn into such a denial. It really says more about the individuals than anything else in my opinion. It’s truly an unfortunate ordeal as it’s an area that’s never accessed by anyone.

Actually used that analogy in the conversation. Said what if our dog wanders across, does this mean you keep my dog if he likes you better? ?. No answer.
As I understand, it’s the neighbors deer at that point, and the DNR will not get involved.
To answer the question, you can’t enter property of others without permission.
But since you say it hasn’t happened yet why not go ahead with contacting the land owner (s) now?
That’s what has happened, I’ve contacted them and this is where it stands. I agree, can’t enter. So basically they’ve prevented others from successfully taking a deer on their own property due to the possibility of it expiring on their land.

Hunt 200 yards off the line and you should be fine.

I'm in the camp that thinks that it's easier to get forgiveness than permission.
Also don't ask, don't tell.

That’s not what my local GW said.
