[QUOTE="mdk777, post: 1772007, member: 96764"] again, you can tell someone to stay off your property, you can deny access...tell people to stay off your land. However, you will have not legal recourse after the fact...you cannot claim they "stole" something. You do not own the wild game. No one will be prosecuted for "poaching" The act of trespassing, yes. Yes you have rights as landowner, but you do not own the wild game. In Ky or any other state. It is our common law practice that the state and federal government controls and "owns" the wild game, not the individual. Hence, when I go to a private duck camp, several thousand acres of private land, I still need the state lic. and Federal duck stamp. I know it is a semantic detail to some, but it seems like the OP was implying that the game cam footage was evidence of a self evident enforceable crime...it was not. Trespassing Yes. Poaching NO. PS, if you find a deer that has jumped onto your property and you want it. 1. you better have a tag. 2. if you do not have a tag, you will need to report it as found to the game dept. if you want to keep it. This does vary some from state to state. TX just passed a bill regarding the keeping and eating of road kill. But if you have a trophy buck with a bullet hole hanging in your front yard.....good luck telling the game warden that he simply died on your property so you have the right to keep it. [/QUOTE]
