Why the fight, was a big deer? Pics?
The vast majority of law enforcement is adult babysitting......
Below is the law as it applies to tagging animals. If I shoot at an animal and hit it and it runs off and another hunter kills it, legally it is his by my reading of the law. The grey area would be where I shoot an animal, it runs 30 yards and is in the final throws of death when someone happens along and else "kills" it.
Quote:
17. (1) The holder of a licence who has killed a moose, deer, elk, bear, wild turkey, wolf or coyote shall, (a) immediately after the kill and at the site of the kill attach the seal provided with or purchased for the licence or licence tag to the game wildlife in the manner indicated in the instructions that accompany the seal; and
(b) keep the seal attached to the game wildlife while it is being transported and, in the case of wild turkey, keep the seal attached to the wild turkey until it is prepared for consumption. O. Reg. 276/05, s. 1; O. Reg. 529/10, s. 2 (1); O. Reg. 48/11, s. 1.
Attachment 31383This is the Vermont hunter in the picture. He's still pi$$ed. But......
That's a nice deer but how would have the story go when seen by friends mounted in his home?.....silly guy, what was he thinking, glad it went to the original shooter.

Vermont guy can't take any satisfaction in the killing of that deer. He just ran over to finish it off. Michigan guy should get the deer since he actually hunted for it.
Sounds to me like you and your client did it right. The Vermont dude sounds like a bit of a scavenger. I'm glad it was resolved peacefully.Quote:

So would it be different if it was like this??????????????????
A gang is doing a drive, and a "nice racked" buck is hit by one of the blockers and it doesnt drop, but keeps running and another hunter from the same gang shoots and it drops dead..........................who gets the rack?
I was under the understanding that who ever put the kill shot into the deer, claims the deer.
Does it make a difference if you're arguing over a buck or a rack?????? What if it was a doe? Would this still be posted?? I think not.
Sounds like the above issue is a 2 sided story, that had got ugly and had to be decided by a CO.
2 hunters that were hunting 2 close that could have ended badly 4 both.....
Just be happy they get to hunt another day, and not be sitting in the hospital or worse......
That's my 2 pennies,,,,take it FWIW......YMMV
