first off its not worth a gunfight in the woods to claim a deer

I live and hunt in Ohio and my own personal thoughts are the person who fires the first lethal shot gets the deer. Of course you could argue for days with some idiots about what shot was lethal and whatnot. If I blow out a deers lungs and it runs 20 yards and you shoot it in the head I am gunna walk right up and tell you that its my deer. I also dont see how you can call a difference between bow and gun hunting. In both cases the deer often run a short distance after being shot....its either the person who shot first or the person who shot last....not one for some situations and the other the rest of the time lol.

If I had been the other guy I would have looked at your blood trail and after I was satisfied that you had indeed shot the deer first...I would have happily said it was your deer. But everybody aint me lol
