hard choise to make.I have never been there.a few years ago we killed a buck in our club,Kay shot the buck first,he acted like she missed.she didn't jut a little far back. two more people shot and clearly missed. he got to my wife,and she droped him.(she could tell he was hit when she say him). when we all got to her the fierst thing out of her mouth "that deer belongs to Kay". after we looked we knew Kay had hit a fatial shot,through the liver and ponuch.(with rifle)

although he was dead,he had gone from 1/2 to 3/4 mile when my wife finished him. "I was very proud of my wife". we had never even talked about this when I taugh her to hunt.

as far as your case,the way you tell it;I would have opened a can of whoop a$$,or took the deer home.whech ever way he wanted it. after it was all over You did right I guess. the DNR officer should have done his job and settled the problem.that one of the things he gets paid for.
