a's deer all the way.

I thought I knew the answer, but you all have some very good points. Really though, if A did not get a shot good enough to claim the deer without a second shot then B would have rights to it, and if it was me in that situation I would rely on B's decision as to whom the deer belonged to.

A few times over the years we have had to follow a blood trail after one of 'us' fired the shot. It never occured to any of us that the killing shot gets the deer. We are always there to help our buddies. That could mean help dressing a deer, help dragging a deer or help finding a wounded deer. We help each other, never getting into a pissing contest of who's deer it is. That's what friends do! In all my days, I'd never thought of it any other way. iSnipe |

If you have to rely on 'B's decision to make that decision, well all I can say is you have a much different definition of what a friend is. |
If B is truly a bud he'll relinquish the deer to A, but in reality that doesn't happen often. The kill shot/possession gets it, which is how most game wardens will rule it.

When I was 17 I shot a pretty nice buck at 20 steps and it ran 150 yards to the guy next to me. He was an older guy and said the deer was running fine across the field so he shot it. 10 years later when that guy dies the son gave me the horns and said that the deer was falling down and could barely move so he wanted me to have it. I thought I made a good shot but sometimes the deer just find a way to keep on going!

So petty.....try it in a duck blind.

A's deer and if B has a problem with that, then shoot B and problem solved.

Being as he was there to "help" Hunter A, why would he then want to claim it as his own?
