deer question

[daniel240]

That is a sticky situation. So did he find the deer on his property? Theres really not much you can do other than talk to the guy and tell him what you think. Im surprised the deer made it 8 days without being eatin by coyotes.

Unless it was on HIS property.. its your deer.
Hunting Etiquette states the person who KILLS the deer is whom it belongs to.
Should he enter that deer in a contest, like the one in February, you should let the people running the show know that it was killed by you.. but taken by the ingrate who never shot it.
Had he shot it.. well then the situation gets sticky.. but if he never fired on the deer it should go to YOU.. not him. Talk to the landowner that lets him hunt with you.. He may have some powers of persuasion.
