Dang sure A LOT of older folks who should know better than to jump on a youngster. Why not give advice or something than acting like a bunch of asses. Yes, his letter might not be to mature , but neither is he. He is 17. Maybe instead of most folks on here complaining that hes a spoiled ask some questions and offer some good hunter advice. Heck most of you act like experts on every other topic on this forum, why not now? Lets help a fellow young hunter who might pass on this tradition and lifestyle get a solution or point him in the right direction instead of calling him names. Some of you so called adults need to grow up.

Unless you're hunting a high fence area, you should ALWAYS consider any deer you see on your place as property of the state, which means they belong to everyone. While you are free to feed and nuture them, you do so with the knowledge they may end up in someone else's ice chest.

OP:
I own 330-ish acres and we have a lot of free-roaming low-fenced animals. I have time and time again seen beautiful Axis and deer that I wanted to wait to shoot and they disappear, never to be seen again.
It sucks, but that is how it is.
You can prove there was blood on the ground and you can prove it is fresh, but, in the end, you won't be able to prove anything short of a blood analysis and that "AN" axis was shot.
The most you can hope for is, without a picture of him shooting it and getting it, the GW will "keep an eye on him".
So, the moral of the story is, you can either spend a LOT of time being angry or a lot of time hunting something or somewhere else.
I feel your pain.. and, again, it blows.. I hear ya.. but you are spending a lot of anger and a lot of time and energy on something that, in the end, won't get that deer back, won't "force him" to stop hunting where and how he hunts.
Get a camera or two, place them along the fence, and the next time he crosses it, you will have proof of trespassing SO LONG as you mark the fenceline.
Good luck!

Hunting is easy..it's getting permission from your wife that is tough.
