Rules For Thee Not For Me (Outlaw Thread)

I don't think we're gonna see changed minds on this one, so I'll suggest a redirect.

How is everybody obtaining contact info on neighboring properties? What state are you in, how big are the tracts, what's the ownership type?
 
Why not call local law enforcement to let them know you want to enter someone else's property to look for a deer you shot? Just tell them if they can't locate the owner to give you permission, you fully intend on breaking the law.

I've used a combination of OnX and local county GIS property data. Both can leave a lot to be desired in tracking down exactly who to call with a lot of land being tied up through a mix of corporations/llc's, or family trusts that may have leadership quite a bit different than just the name that was on it when created. I have had a little luck with looking up via the GIS data to find a name, and then trying to find the person on facebook to actually reach out if I can't find a number.
 
Ok, you're right my last attempt was a flawed argument, using moral/ethical/right and wrong words just muddy the water. You're posting in a "what are the most common laws broken by hunters" thread and asking for people to prove that what you're doing is wrong, without saying "it's against the law". That ain't gonna happen. Not trying to tell you to change or personally attack/judge you, just trying to point out that you're making a bit of a circular argument here. Just be your version of an outlaw, you don't need a playbook from us.

Down here at least the CEO would groan internally, politely inform you that it was in no way his job to know who owned what private property much less provide you that information, and remind you that the laws on the books prohibit retrieval. Then he'd hang up the phone and ask nobody in particular why you didn't just go get the dang deer like everybody else does.

;)

I guess it's a regional thing. This article kinda explains what I said earlier about carpetbaggers and tax-dodgers.

Dare defend your state for once, Alabama. And not just the bosses who run it.

We rank 4th highest in the nation in terms of foreign ownership of land. Many rural counties are majority owned by non-residents.

In that case, you can at least have comfort in the fact that you tried to get permission to enter someone else's property by getting into direct contact with the person whose job it is to enforce the law you're breaking.
 
Nutter touched on what I was going to say.

It's always interesting to me how strong the response is from entities that aren't anywhere near involved, located nearby or effected in any way , shape or form and have absolutely no first hand knowledge of the people and places they want to police
 
I come across a trespasser on my property. There's no way for me to know what they're actually there for. It's super easy for anyone to say "Oh sorry bro, I shot a deer and tracked it here. It's my moral imperative to do everything I can to recover the animal. You know I have mad ethics and all."

It could be true or they could just be hunting my place, casing my buildings, or worse. My wife is frequently alone around the place so it's not just about me being a greedy landowner hoarding everything for myself.

Everyone has their own line in the sand. Sometime it match the current laws and ethics, sometimes it doesn't. So we're all adults, as long as you are honest and understand what you are doing AND accept the consequences, that's the price you pay for being part of society.

Agreed, funny people make the argument "you speed don't you?" Because the price of that ticket is tiny compared to break laws around hunting. Ig do what you can afford
