Anybody know the real answer to this question? If you shoot a bird and it falls across the fence where you don't have permission what are your options?
Can you put your gun down and go get it? Can you send your dog after it? Does it matter if it is posted or not? If you are responsible for your dog can he be a trespasser? Who knows?
 
I don't know the honest answer but in my opinion if you aren't holding your gun and you need to help your dog get the bird back then i would say it would be okay as long as you don't set up camp on the other side of the fence

Based on regs published on the KDWP website, a hunter must have permission to enter any private land even for the purpose of retrieving down game that somehow ended up there.

That's a good thing for lots of reasons... Mostly because it sounds like you have lots of ground to hunt.:D

If I thought there was a concern, I would ask the landowner you are hunting on if there are any neighbors that you need to worry about. Some people will go out of their way to be pricks, and it's good to know that ahead of time so you can try to avoid dealing with them.
 
That's a good question.In all my years,I have never worried about that,now that i think about it,there aren't any fences where we hunt.Just grass.
 
A big city lawyer went pheasant hunting in rural Kansas . He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer's field on the other side of a fence.
As the lawyer climbed over the fence, an elderly farmer drove up on his tractor and asked him what he was doing.

The litigator responded, "I shot a rooster and it fell in this field, and now I'm going to retrieve it."

The old farmer replied, "This is my property, and you are not coming over here." The indignant lawyer said, "I am one of the best trial attorneys in the United States and, if you don't let me get that bird, I'll sue you and take everything you own.

The old farmer smiled and said, "Apparently, you don't know how we settle disputes in Kansas . We settle small disagreements like this; with the "Three Kick Rule."

The lawyer asked, "What is the Three Kick Rule?"

The Farmer replied, "Well, because the dispute occurs on my land, I get to go first. I kick you three times and then you kick me three times and so on back and forth until someone gives up."

The attorney quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided that he could easily take the old codger. He agreed to abide by the local custom.

The old farmer slowly climbed down from the tractor and walked up to the attorney. His first kick planted the toe of his heavy steel toed work boot into the lawyer's groin and dropped him to his knees. His second kick to the midriff sent the lawyer's last meal gushing from his mouth.

The lawyer was on all fours when the farmer's third kick to his rear end, sent him face-first into a fresh cow pie.

The lawyer summoned every bit of his will and managed to get to his feet. Wiping his face with the arm of his jacket, he said, "O'kay, you old fart. Now it's my turn."

The old farmer smiled and said, "Nah, I give up. You can have the bird.
