was taught in a seminar put on years ago by missouri bowhunter education that first mortal wound should get the animal. but i hunted busch wildlife area years ago when they allowed 300 hunters in at a time. there were many arguments about whose deer. my friend and i all shot with string trackers back then to eliminate all doubt.

Ohio.........The first one to put a tag on it. A third hunter who has not even shot the deer can walk up to it, put a tag on it, and that deer is legally his or hers.

You guys know me.....It doesn't affect me. I was simply curious.

Heck....as long as it's a doe.....I can double lung her on my hunting land.....and you can have her if you beat me to her!

Simply curious.....that's all.

Yes Zuba you would be correct, the one who actually kills the animal gets the animal. Thats how I have always known it to be.
