lets say your hunting buddy shoot a deer in the guts and you wait 1 hour, then he call you to sit on the edge of a field incase it runs out while he goes and looks for it. the buck comes out by you and you drop it, who's is it????

his. he shot it first even though its a bad shot it is still lethal and if he woulda waited to go track it then it woulda been dead

Man there must be some hungry hunters around this year. Give him the thing and shoot another one. IMO you have rights to the deer, you dropped it. But you were asked to do a favor for him , do it or dont.

First letal shot.

His. Bottom line he asked you to come and help him. So if you shoot it dead, then you are helping him. Would you have killed that deer if he had not asked you to come and help him? No. Do the right thing and let him have his deer.

Who cares? If the guy is your friend, you should be happy to let him have it.

x2 It is who wver put the lethal shot but he is you friend give it to him . Is it worth a friendship ? I think not

I would definitley give it up to your friend, but always keep in mind that you helped him not only bag the buck but also gave the deer the respect enough not to let it suffer.

If it was my friend. Its his.

I suggest you settle it the country way. Take turns kicking each other in the jewels until someone gives up. The winner takes the deer.
Let us know who wins

Kidding aside, I believe in the first fatal shot. guts to me is a fatal shot.
