WTF is a "legit kill"?
Is it dead" Did you kill it?
My issue was whether or not to tag the animal. I had to ask myself (as did my GW)....."Did you kill it"?
I did. I tagged. There is NO protocol for this type thing. I haven't entered any deer I've ever kille din anything other than the HNI contest (and this one wont go in there).

The gentelman that buchered the deer keept it himself. He saw what the legs looked like when he cut it up and I also told him the story, so that was his choice to keep it not mine.

Anything that would go through a packing house that died of an abscess and infection would immediately be put in the rendering pile. They would also shut down and clean the entire line that the meat in question had come across prior to being found.

Jeff, that is exactly why you will see "IMO" in my threads. It's all about your own perception. Everyone gave their's, I gave mine.
IMO, a "legit kill" is one that does not need a disclosure.......

DC.....I respect the IMO part....but if you didn't see it go down....and can't follow a blood trail to it.....there's gonna be some disclosure required. You've sold yourself on some level of deductive reasoning.

True Jeff and I guess at some point the crystal clear turns to shades of grey. Each situation is different and each hunter is different.
Like I said in your thread, I would proudly display the buck you found. BUT, it would be a "little" different than the big 6 pt you killed in the typical fashion. IMO of course.

No pat on the back from here either and that isn't meant as aslam. Without assistance and pure luck, this deer would have never been recovered. To me, it is about the same thing as gut shooting one and then you find the bonesand skull thenext season. Seriously, and I'm not being a hard case...I don't understand the logic behind everyones congrats. Would you give me a pat on the back for finding last years deer? I think not! It's the same thing folks...
And I really mean this...I AMNOT slamming the hunter. Bad shots happen.

Matt is right on with everything he stated in his reply IMO of course.
His and the one in this thread are 2 entirely different senarios. One was given up on, one was not.
