On the land · 2 min read
A fence is a boundary even if the deer crossed it
Treat this as a gate. A fence is a boundary even if the deer crossed it. The subject is a fence you do not have permission beyond.
At the truck
At the truck, stop at the fence. Say the plan out loud if someone is with you. A plan you cannot say is a plan you do not have.
The slip
Do not paper over a track used as permission. Fix it while the engine is still warm enough to leave.
Go only if you are on the side you were allowed to hunt. Local season dates and the landowner's permission outrank a good forecast.
Nothing in this note asks you to rush a shot or to guess at a boundary. The "On the land" note is finished when the answer is yes or no.
A field note, not legal advice. Check the season, the species rules, and whether you have permission to be on the land.
