[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 1437974, member: 36999"] Somehow in my 13 years of hunting, including multiple drives a year, we have only run into a similar situation twice, coincidentally both involving my brother. The first involved me and my first buck his very first year hunting, he shot at an 8pt missed and it ran a couple hundred yards to me where I killed it. He swore that he hit it first and refused to believe it no matter how many times my dad explained that he simply missed. He finally agreed when we skinned it and it was quite clear there was a single heart shot only. The second time was a small 7pt that both him and the farmers daughter were shooting at as it crossed the field. Since they were both using .243's and it had three holes in it they got their picture with it, split the meat and I believe the rack ended up in the box with the rest of the assorted small bucks shot over the years. Had this been a larger buck I believe we would have given it to the farmers daughter as she was more likely the one that hit it. I agree that the OP should have gotten the deer, he placed the kill shot on a still living and moving deer therefore it is his deer. Now if he had simply executed a downed deer that would be a different story, I have had to shoot a couple deer that weren't quite dead and never once considered them to be "mine". [/QUOTE]
