Unlike some answers the two are best of friends and would never let a deer end that.In matter of fact A was so upset about the poor shot he told B the buck was his.It was a 12 pt. that scored somewhere in the 140's.Was just curious as to what the rest of the hunting forum would do in that situation.The answer among the rest of my hunting friends is also A deer.But it took more sportsmanship to do what he did.P.S. we all got together and had a few cold ones.....
