Check your state rules, but in my state it's not a problem. If the game you shot legally runs onto private property, and your tracking trail leads you there, the procedure is contact the landowner if possible, tell him that you intend to go onto the land to get your game. 99% chance, he/she will say "fine". If the landowner refuses, or if you cannot find the landowner, get the game warden, and he will force the landowner to let you retrieve your game, or escort you on and off to find the game (although the GW *may* want to see your blood trail crossing the property line, proving that you shot it elsewhere).
