Unfortunately people don't have very good ethics anymore! Yoy know it i know it and he know's it that the deer should of been yours! The only way i would say no that it wasn't yours would be if you grazed the deer and didn't hit it very hard! People are greety as hell these days, its a shame being you were as young as you were and some adult shows that kind of authority over a youngperson like yourself! I've had 6 to 7 wounded deer come through my woods and the land owners contacted me and i went with them so they wouldn't shoot anything else to recover and or finish off there deer. Its a question of ethics and alot of people don't have a drop of them!
