I hit him with my second shot but only got 1 lung because of the angle of the shot.......then the old man finished him off....so i get credit for the kill since i put a fatal shot on him and he would have died anyhow. I was told that he could hardly walked when he put the final bullet in him. All lurched and having trouble staying in line with the trail. Legally i would get credit for the kill as well had the deer run onto another property and someone shot him correct? im pretty sure thats how it goes..first to hit deer claims it.
