The law says a deer belongs to the person who shot the deer and stopped it in its flight. The law also forbids WCOs from getting involved in disputes regarding the ownership of deer. Yep, there are some unscrupulous people who will tag a deer that someone else killed, it happens but not hundreds of times each year. The thing about hunting is that it is pretty much out of view of the law and the public, there are no referees to thrown a flag and call foul when things happen, that is why it is important for us to obey the law and have a set of ethics about things they will not do even if no one is watching. Unfortunately not everyone out there is ethical.
