While it may have been nice to give the deer to the boy, I feel it would have set him up to expect that same treatment in the future. This way, he learned how hunting really works,i.e; it's not a game and that there are morals,ethics and legalities involved.
Frankly, I think he got a lesson far more valuable than his first buck. Of course, it will take years for the boy to understand this...
I would have split the deer 50/50.

Just follow the law and you will always be right, that is why the law is in place, it tells you the right thing to do.

I don't think so.
As I encouraged you in another thread, you may prefer to put me on ignore if you are unable to tolerate a worldview which differs from your own.
