I know a guy that shot a B&C non-typical and didn't find it until after the season. After recieving the DNR's blessing and proper tags, he took possesion of it and entered it in B&C as well as had it mounted. It is listed as a FOUND deer by B&C. Bottom line is...... he caused it's death and I think he did the right thing mounting it and entering it. The deer demands respect!
So in your eyes if you shot a dandy buck in November and find it while shed hunting in February all bets are off? If I cause his death with my car is that open for debate. My question is how many of these shots are marginal because the rack is huge? I hear it every week.......I had to shot threw six briar bushes but I think I hit him/her good!!
