[QUOTE="Broz, post: 769604, member: 7503"] I hear what you are saying. I am not opposed to public use of public land, I hunt too. But the method of access needs to be fair to both. Also I see both sides of this as well. I have used the private access I work on to retrieve many wounded animals that were shot on public lands that border the private ranch. 3 deer and two elk this past season. If they call before they trespass I help them, all we ask is do it lawfully and stay off the private. Call first if you have a need to go on private, we will help you. One bull this year was in the bottom of a deep ditch now on private land. I winched it out with my truck, loaded it in my truck and hauled the two hunters and their bull right to their truck where we slid it in the back. Saved them a days work. It would have been much easier if I would have drove on the public land, but I didn't. I used our private land only. We also gave the go ahead to get out a hunter with a broken ankle, we were glad to and so should every other private property owner in an emergency. My point is, there is going to be many instances where wounded game make it on to the private land from public where it was shot. Hunter / Landowner relations are very important here. The land owner that is upset does not have to allow retrieval of game that comes to rest on private. Nor does he have to allow the following of a blood trail onto his private ground. But if you ask first most will. Jeff [/QUOTE]
