My dad has owned some land in Steuben county for 30+ years, and about 7 years ago we decided to start hunting it. At first, the neighbors of the property right next to ours (who also hunt their own property) didn't have an issue with us hunting on ours. But last year that all changed I think due to issues within their (the neighbor's) family and property usage by other members of that family and such (long story).
In the 2011 shotgun season, my dad shot a deer on his own property and it ran onto and expired on the neighbor's property. The neighbor showed up while my dad was walking on his (my dad's) side of the property line looking for where the deer went. The neighbor threw a fit, launched several false accusations and such - finally telling my dad to retrieve his deer and then never come onto the property again.
This year my dad has a concern about shooting a deer and having it run onto and expire on the neighbor's property and wants to know what he should do if that happens. Should he contact DNR if this happens or just let the deer go? We have the phone number of the neighbor, but the neighbor expressed desire to never communicate with us again.
