if you turn loose on a property that you have permission to hunt and your dog goes on land that you dont have permission to hunt and you go ask the owner if you can get your dog and they tell you no can you call the cops and get permission from them to go get your dog? i have heard that landowners have to let you but i dont know for sure. just kind of wondering about it.

old sn was huntingwalkers09 for the information

The best answer is call your State DNR and ask them what the retrieval law is. Every state is different, but I am sure this is a topic every game warden has encountered at some point in his/her career.

if it comes down to it, i will go get my dog whereever he is, no matter what the deal is

yeah i just get the dog cause you cant tell them that you can hunt here but not here, they dont know wat tresspassing is

I agree with THUNDERTHURSTON. Check the local laws, ask the local game warden.

I know in Virginia that you are allowed to reterive your dogs and return back to your truck and go on. I always ask for permission so that no one gets mad over the whole deal. Most people around where I hunt dont care to much unless its someone from the city who just moved here. They usually help us out the best they can in catching our dogs.

and enforcement can be totally different even when the law is the same. Check with your local game warden to see what he's likely to do in a situation like that and to find out if there's anyone likely to shoot your dogs or where there are a lot of traps. I don't hunt anywhere near anyone that has shot a dog if I can avoid it.
And you don't want to stumble in on anyone guarding a plot of pot or a meth lab if you can help it! If they're guarding the property aggressively, there's something else they don't want outsiders to see, even if its just a drunken party. If your dog trespasses and someone's home, ask first as long as you don't have to wake someone up. Its just common sense. If the homeowner says NO, ask if they will retrieve the dog for you and explain that you will be forced to call the law if they won't cooperate. Most will, even if they're not friendly about it.

In S.C., if you are tresspassing, you're tresspassing-no matter what reason you have.You're SUPPOSED to go to the land owner and get permission to retrieve your dog,but honestly,the easiest way is to get your dog without making a parade out of it, don't shoot the coon out, and go on your merry way.As in MOST of coonhunting, people that don't do it are better off not knowing anything at all.

My dog got on a man's land last year and I went to his door to get permission to get my dog.He said no,and called the cops on me for tresspassing- which I hadn't done-yet.When the cop got there the man said this, that, and the other about me being on his property and I WASN'T coonhunting, but trying to steal stuff, that he guessed he had a new dog and that he had a gun pointed at me out the window before I knocked on the door.The cop informed him that HE could go to jail for assault with a deadly weapon for ADMITTING to pointing a gun.Then I brought up the fact that if the cop would walk with me to the dog that was treeing, he would find MY name and phone # on his collar, so I guess if I WASN'T hunting and the dog was on his property, he must have stolen it.The cop agreed and asked the guy if the $218.00 fine I was looking at was a good trade for the assault and larceny charges HE was looking at.He suddenly became the nicest guy on Earth and said I could get my dog.

Sounds to me like you got the better of that a$$hole, without even trying.

people around me a pains i had one guy spot light me for about half a hour on land that he didnt even own i just layed down and worked my way to the creek bank i didnt want to get shot the next day i went and talked to him and it wasnt to kind of a conversation i was out once before and his dumb lab got loose and tried to fight my dogs but that was when i was trying to train them on a caged coon on land that my sisters boy friend owns lets just say this guy wont even let his dog out any more because he is worried it wont come back if im out huntin i also have another guy who has threatened to call the cops because i was shuttin a possume behind my house a 1130 at night and another time i had a skunk in the chicken shed with a pack of fire crakers and he cald my mom and wanted to know if he should call the cops my other negbor i could kill a coon right under his window at 2 in the morning and he wouldnt care he also feeds my dogs biskits all the time

Why would you want a skunk in a shed with firecrackers? That just sounds like unnecessary cruelty to me (especially to the poor chickens).
