Mr. Nethery, No you can't just go get your dog if the land owner says NO. You are supposed to contact the authorities and have them help in the recovery of your hound, yeah right! I'm sitting here reading what the law states in the New York regulation guide and it all sounds to me like nobody wants to give a direct answer. It says to get permission of landowners in the area you plan to hunt. #2 A hunter may not go on posted property, even to retrieve a dog, without landowner permission. #3 while it is lawful for a dog to pursue game on land that may be posted, it is not lawful for a hunter to knowingly release a dog on posted land. The rest is just a bunch of mumble jumble about being a good steward of the land etc. It all sounds pretty stupid to me but I was told by the state police ( as they were giving me a ticket ) that you have to contact them or a game warden to retrieve your dog from private property. My hounds were released on land that I had permission to hunt on, they came treed on land that was posted. Myself and two friends crossed the property line by a couple hundred yards and before getting to the tree were shot at I ended up in a heated argument with the shooter who held a loaded 357 pointed at my head the whole time ( with the hammer cocked ) To make a long story shorter, He was arrested for some little charge and I was arrested for trespassing. My charge was dropped because nobody could prove where we were physically at, which- come to find out we weren't on his land. He had his hand guns taken and had to pay a $300 fine. He got his hand guns returned and kept his job as a town cop. He is also a retired county sheriff deputy ( forced to retire for sexual misconduct ) The law dogs always take care of one another! We as sportsmen need to become as tight as the law dogs so we can avoid situations like I was in.
This is the way I understand NY's right to retrieve law to be also. Proper steps are to contact landowner first and ask permission. If they deny you permission, then you contact a game warden and they will come and allow you to retrieve your dog. Usually just letting a landowner know that if they don't give you permission (if they're allready telling you no) that you'll contact the game warden and they'll allow me to retrieve my dog anyhow is enough. I'm lucky though because I hardly ever run into problems like this with the big chunks I hunt on here in SW Ny.
