What is the law if a deer runs on the next property after shot in Ohio?

Gamewarden told me he cannot make the landowner give up the deer. But his uniform is a positive influence towards getting the deer. If still told no, explaining how said landowner is not legally allowed to take it, helps the retrieve on occasion as well.

I don't see how it can be said the landowner can't keep the deer. It's found on his property and the landowner needs no hunting licence. I think that GW was blowing hot air out of his ass. Or is there a Ohio law stating this?
Not to argue it but it makes no sense to me as a landowner.

You are not allowed to tag a deer that another man shot. And you're not allowed to possess a deer that's not been tagged.

I understand that but finding dead deer on your property would be different as I see it. And the landowner just tags it. Me I would attempt to find out who shot the deer but if I couldn't I surely wouldn't let the good meat rot.

Legally the landowner would have to call the GW for a salvage tag. Which would be an awkward call if the GW knew the landowner wouldn't allow the hunter to get it. Lol.

Just think of all the deer a landowner could “find” on his property every year. I guess it could reduce the need for nuisance permits.

Excellent point.

I ran into this very situation on Wednesday evening. A buck I hit ended up going on to a property I've been told not to "step foot on". The only silver lining to this is that I highly doubt this deer will die anyways. I tracked him as far as I could on land I am allowed on, all I could do. This is the first deer I've not recovered in many years and believe me it hurts to know I blew it some how.

I was told that about a landowner once. I went and asked anyhow. (On my best polite behavior) I was granted permission to look but was given a time frame to be out or let them know.
