On our property it is the unwritten rule that the first person tomortally woundan animal takes it.

Say my dad is in a stand 75 yards away and shoots a deer. The shot is behind the shoulder (considered a lethal hit), but forwhatever reason the deer makes it to my stand an offers me a follow up shot. Were I to release an arrow to put the deer down, the animal would still be tagged by my father.

As far as the law is concerned, I have no idea.
