Not one person on this thread has even alluded to such a thing. I suggest you go back to the OP. This thread is about 2 hunters each putting a hole in a deer and then trying to figure out who the deer belongs to. Only one of them can legally tag it so one of them will get to continue to hunt. What you're talking about and continue to cry about is a completely different set of circumstances.
In OT's scenario there was a wounded deer that was finished off shortly before the first hunter tracked it down. The youngster in question allowed the first hunter to tag it. OT was there and said that the action was perfectly legal. Personally I would have done the same thing and then continued to hunt.
Look at all the posts on this thread. Only you seem to be arguing about something the thread isn't about. Now you can start a new thread along that topic line and see what happens. Problem is you'll probably be too stubborn to do so.
