Generally the first person that gets to the dead deer owns it.
In my younger days I shot a doe at about 100 yards. After waiting 10 minutes I left my stand and went to find the deer. Another hunter claimed it. We had words, and as he was first to find the animal, I left him with the deer.
About an hour later, he drove up to the house with a deer. Because I was so insistent that I had shot a deer, he went back and found a second dead deer. We had each shot a deer, but not the same one.

Another time I was in a tree stand when a drive pushed a bunch of does into me. I picked out a large doe and shot her in the head. I stayed in the tree because I didn't want to disrupt the drive. Eventually the deer bolted and the standers emptied their rifles as the deer broke into the open. One of the standers than came into the woods and found the deer I shot before I could get out of the tree.
I showed them that the deer was head shot and dropped right where she was shot and that it was not one of those that they was shooting at.
They knew that I shot it but there were three of them and they wanted the deer.

| The only reason that I got the deer was because it was on the property adjoining mine and the hunters knew that I would have to answer to my neighbor about their conduct if they took the deer. |

| Should have read, " they would have to answer to my neighbor about their conduct if they took the deer." |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
