    Hunting question for discussion

    In my state Option #2 would be the correct one. Second answer: find the land owner and/or land manager and seek permission to retrieve the game. In my class we asked what if the land owner opposes hunting and refuses to allow you to enter their property to retrieve the game? The answer...
