Am I a Bad Person??

Technically that is trespassing. The meat eater podcast used to talk about corner hopping and also pondered whether firing a projectile across a corner of a property like you described was legal. Being a surveyor I became curious so I looked it up. Property rights extend vertically 200' above the surface and the supreme court determined that firing a projectile like a cannonball (this case was decided around the time of the civil war) over a property was a violation of property rights. Just a little bit of trivia for those interested.

So above 200 feet is good? I’m gonna need more sticks...
 
Or shoot your arrow in an extremely parabola to get above 200 ft. If you want to get more climbing sticks, then we can call you “Jack and the Beanstalk”.

That’s good to know. I guess if I was in that situation again I would really have to arc it in there to make the 200’

Personally, if you have permission from the land owner to retrieve a deer if it goes on his property you are golden. However, if you don't, I think I would get it soon. Unless you actually have a conversation with him, I think it sheds a bit of a negative light on hunter-landowner relations. I know if we find stands up right on the property line or notice somebody posted close and they have never talked to us about it, that upsets a lot of landowners. I just think we always need to be perfectly up front with people and it keeps everyone informed and relationships tend to build instead of deteriorate. Its a common courtesy thing in my opinion Please don't interpret this that you did something wrong, its an ethics thing and the promotion of positive hunter images and relations that are more important in the long run.

Those landowners can suck it! Once i leased some land in Gallatin Co Illinois. Landowner owned all of the trees around the fields, but line was a fence 3 yds in the tree line to the neighbors. The neighbors bitched , complained and stole trail camera cards all season from me and my buddy. If its on the property you are allowed to hunt, dont worry about it at all!! If its land i owned and paid tax on, i will hunt every single solitary inch of ground i want to hunt. If the other landowner wont let you get a deer, check with DNR for help and regs about it.
