    Sent the game warden an email for the time being, I have to go to lifts for lacrosse at 11:20 so if he doesn't get back to me after lifts I will give him a call.

    Found a tracking dog from the link posted that's two hours away, going to ask around from the taxidermist and a couple buddies who live near by, but I'm assuming I will need to have permission, atleast for the one from the link

    Got an elk with my rifle. Shot him broadside at 30 yards... I left my bow in the truck for the one time we got on bulls. I could have smoked him easy with the bow. I walked a little over 3 miles to get to this bull. Crawled up on him and took my shot. I really wish I had brought my bow!!!!! [​IMG]


    It's been a bit tougher hunting. Got it done and now I'm bowhunting for the rest of the trip... muley time! Good luck everyone.

    Is your goal to retire from hunting by the age of 18? Getting some peoples lifetime of hunting done in a season.

    Congrats on the bull and good luck on the muley. Guessing we'll see you behind a sasquatch before the New Year? :lol:

    Go in unarmed, so, if caught on the property, they can see you are not hunting and only recovering.

    That's just bad advice, you need to get permission or call the game warden. Someone catches you on their property it can get ugly pretty quick, armed or not.

    In Iowa I know that you have every right to go get an animal you shot as long as you go unarmed. Don't need permission to do so. It is best, however to try and get ahold of the owner.

    I was looking at NC laws, they don't have any special game retrieval exemptions. Started looking at Georgia laws thought that's where he was hunting.

    I stated I would have personally kept tracking, but in no way recommend that as advice to anyone. If there was a home on the land I would be knocking and calling before going ahead.

    DNR is always the recommended first call when in doubt.

    Same thing when I got my bear. The one day I took my rifle instead of my bow, I shot one at 20 yards broadside.

    I known in GA you have to have permission or call the game waeden, I didn't know about the laws in other states so I guess you can do whatever is legal there .

    There is either 27 mute kids behind me jumping in leaf piles or 2 happy squirrels. Not sure which yet...

    if the timber company land is posted it sounds like it is leased out for hunting. might have to find the guys or club leasing the property. I am surprised the timber company doesn't have a secretary answering the phone. keep at it.
