NOT the other hunter
its rather simple here
I again, CANNOT shoot a deer and have someone else tag it

YOU did NOT say in your story you were ACTING as a GAME warden and MAKING the call
you were just hunting
you even said it was the BOY that made the decision without you having to do anything

and last , and MY last post here
I said all along I think the RIGHT thing to have done was let the first shooter have the deer
but right and LEGAL are NOT always the same things
I am DONE here with this,. its as silly topic that will NEVER win either way, as unless this went to court, there is NO right or wrong as the issue was never pressed legally to find out
me NOT a warden or you being an EX one, has NO meaning here
a JUDGE would have to decide the case if it went that far(doubt it ever would)
Game wardens MAKE mistake, and its NOT that un common
a few yrs back a LONG time one went on WNEP PA's PA hunting show the outdoors show(forget exact name at this writing, sure oldtilmr knows the show I am talking about here)
and stated it was against the law to have more than 3 rounds in a rifle in deer season
which was dead wrong, and again a LONG time warden said it on TV
and they ended up doing a update to clear HIS mistake up, and that one was on TV here?
so, NO one is perfect!

and I":M out of this conversation, feel free to bash on me all you like
I'm done here
