RE: When does a Kill become a Pickup?
Stealthycat,
You are 100% right, the farmer could of kept the rack and there was nothing Zaft could of done.
Even if his arrow was still stuck in the deer and a blood trail the size of the Mississippi led to that deer, and the farmer found it only 30 mins. after Zaft double lunged it “the farmer could of kept the rack and there was nothing Zaft could of done”.
It has nothing to do with proof it has everything to do with possesion and private property.
Are you saying that every deer that enters private property after being shot cannot be considered a kill because the owner of the property “could” keep it if he wanted to?
The property owner has the right to deny any kill from any hunter no matter how bad or good a kill it was.
The fact that the farmer did not care about the rack and let Zaft take it means nothing in this argument, and does not in any way proof or disproof whether the buck was a kill or a pickup.
