need to know about retrieval rights

I've read a lot of these responses and I feel bad for the poor guy that got the ticket for trespassing on agricultural land, the only class C trespassing offense in the state penal laws, most instances constitute a class B offense requiring an arrest, but actually you do have the right to recover your dogs, property, from someone's land. There are a few guidelines you have to follow first. You must make a valid attempt to notify the owner of the property and seek his permission to get your dogs. If you are unable to make contact with that person you should contact the sheriff's office, do not contact or ask for a game warden as most are not very dog hunter friendly in this state. Let the sheriff's deputy know what happened and should allow you to get your dog. The reason for this is under the theft statue a person can not knowingly deprive another of their property or they are committing theft, even if the dog is on their property. However, you need to be sure of the location, tracking collar works great, in order to be allowed access. This is a good thing to know in case some pesky land owner tries to keep you from getting your dog back, which legally they can not. Hope I helped
