No Rebel ........ believe it or not I'm a redneck at heart. I live deep in the mountains. I'm a recluse and only eat what I kill. We have a store and 2 traffic lights and the nearest neighbor is 1.72 miles away. Vast endless land upon land.Nestled in the beautiful Finger Lakes region. I am about as far removed from the New York City image as you could possibly imagine. Heck I'm probably more redneck than you.

If the deer is still on his feet then it doesn't matter if the first shot was fatal or not. The deers head could be shot off but if he is still able to runaway and someone else shoots it the law says the second guy owns that deer.

definately the second hunter if its a day later. but im not sur if you shot the deer and it hadnt died yet and ran in front of another hunt and that hunter put the finishing shot just moments after you shot it.

i also would have to say the second hunter. we had that happen to a 10 pointer a few years back and they found the deer the next day with two bullet holes in the deer and the first hunter who shot the buck gave it to the second person because he was pretty sure he made the killing shot...to me that was an outstanding show of sportsmanship. In this case i would say the second hunter
