whose deer is it?
I was just wondering what yalls opinion is on this matter...
If someone shoots a deer and only wounds him, and while you are tracking him or before you start tracking him another hunter shoots the deer and kills it...whose deer is it?
I've always thought it was the person who actually harvested the deer that should get the meat and check it in...but i was just wondering what yalls takke is on it...

As a group its up to the grour to be sure everyone understands. My bunch, its first blood. If another hunter on public land smokes it, you may have problems. Put what state you are from in your profile would ya?

RE: whose deer is it?
Its really common sense. If you hit a deer with a bad shot and it makes it 100 yards or more and someone puts a bullet in the lungs, its thier deer. All hunters should know a lethal shot. Liver shots are a grey area. So are neck shots. Everybody has thier idea, but I know deep down if I took the deer. And I usually will fight over it if I believe its mine.

Whoever puts the first lethal shot on the deer. None of this first blood crap. Why would you want to tag a deer that had a non lethal shot or flesh wound. I myself would be ashamed to tag a deer I knew wouldnt have died from my non lethal shot... Just my opinion...

PA, final shot is the killer....
i dont agree with EITHER method...
if i blow the heart out of a deer and it makes its 50yd death dash(ive had them make it pretty close to 50yds with no heart to speak of...running into trees and stumbling all the way, but made it that far before dropping) and someone shoots it within the 50yd run or whatever and "kills it" im going to be pretty upset....
and i dont like first blood because if someone blows a leg off or shoots it in the tail or something, too danged bad! head to the shootin range...you certainly aint heading to the taxidermist!!!

first killing shot......if it stays on the property where either are allowed to have the deer......if it goes to another property and the first guys doesnot/cant get permission then the second hunter can claim the deer or return it to the first hunter.....thats how it is in Indiana
