A rookie hunter is a rookie hunter , no matter his age. He made a mistake and you handled it terribly. There's actually alot of things to pick apart in this thread but I'll leave it at that. Hopefully you learned a lesson. Maybe you should get together with him and talk it over so he doesn't just think your a lazy a-hole for not helping him drag the deer out and ruining what was probably an exciting experience for him. JMO!
