RE: got a question
The way I see it as far as ethics go the first "fatal" shot gets the animal. Though when it has happened that another party member has wounded a deer and someone else finishes it in our party the first hit owns the deer. That said when it comes to 2 seperate parties it up for grabs, unfortunately. I wouldn't tag a deer that was shot by someone else only seconds ago. Such an event is unlikely as I don't hunt that close to another party, in fact rarily am that close to someone in my party either.
As far as crossing property lines here it is illegal to cross onto posted land to retrieve legally harvested game without landowner permission or DNR ******. A couple places i hunt I can not obtain permission to retrieve downed game from the landowner as such I don't put myself in the situation where it may happen. Meaning in such a case I hunt far enough away from the property lines that a death dash will not make it to their side of the line.
