Bucks

[Bucky]

Has anybody shot or does anybody have a buck hanging on their wall that should be hanging on somebody else's wall?

[WoodChuck]

 ???  no ::)

[Mayfly]

I hope not......


Strange question.

Do you?

[Gopher]

I know a guy that opener Slug season shot a buck and a few minutes later a guy came tracking that same buck, that he had hit 5 minutes earlier.   

Needless to say in the end the person who I know kept the buck and the other group ended up getting all steamed up about it. 

So every once and a while I'll tease that person and tell him his Buck is hanging on the Wrong Wall!

Gopher,


I know a guy too that has a big buck hanging on the wrong wall. He shot a big buck one morning in slug season and about 10 minutes later this guy came tracking that same buck.


I guess they almost mixed it up over the buck, but the guy I know ended up with the buck.

Now all his buddies sing him a song they made up called My Buck Is Hanging On The Wrong Wall.

I allways went by who put the kill shot on the animal.
if a guy hit it in the vitals, like nicked a lung or whatever and was tracking it, if I feel it would have died or he would have caught up to it no problem and I just put it down then it would be his deer.
if he hit it in the leg, and then it came by me and I put it down, then no way, my deer.
if he wants to mix it up, then we could decide it that way to. want to mess with me after the adrenaline of shooting a nice buck is racing through my viens? that might be the case for him too, but he just got done chasing after a deer for a half mile, he's probably close to winded....LETS GO!!

now if it was a kid, I might have to dig one out of the generosity bag, hand it over to him and shake his hand. :)

  THATS the kind of wisdom that makes us such great sportsmans, and thanks to JIGGLES FOR SETTING THIS EXAMPLE!.  ITS TIME TOO FISHHHHHH.

[Bucky]

Jigglestick,


I agree with what you said.

People can do some strange things when it comes to hunting.

Like WoodChuck says its time to FISH!

[Gopher]

Jigglestick,
I like the way you put it.  Come to think of it the guy I know that has the buck,  It was his first buck, and he was just a kid.

I feel sorry for the guy that shot the first shot.  I believe that Minnesota law says an individual that shoots a deer on his own land has a right to track it and do his best to find that deer. Weather that means going on to someone elses land. That individual has to loose his weapon then, but I say it is first blood.

[Bucky]

If the guy that fired the first shot made a kill shot on the deer, then yes I would probably let them have it. If the guy that fired the first shot and hit the deer in the leg and I end up putting the kill shot in the deer, then I definitely would keep the deer and tell them to turn around and head back.

Happy Days!

damn >:(

[Bucky]

Anybody having any luck bow or muzzleloader hunting?

[Tripleplay]

Agree with jigglestick and also have experienced this myself a couple of times.  If the first shot was vitals or even a gut shot that was leaving a trail I go with the first shooter.  If not even a potential killing shot then the deer is mine.

I've finished off two deer for other parties in the past in which I handed them over to the original shooter and also watched someone from my party pass back a very nice buck to the neighbors party.  That deer was borderline on letting them have i, but he was the landowner and felt that in the interest of better cooperation between the neighbors that it was well worth giving it to them.  Heck, they were far enough away from home that we went and got a truck, loaded the deer with them and I drove them back to their farm.

I have a spot where one should be hanging that ended up one neighbors wall. We were tracking it as he shot at it and missed but claimed he hit it and would not relinquish possession to me. He admitted to a mutual friend after they butchered it that he did not hit it. Only my 2 shots hit it.

C'est la vei

I have a  buck on the wall that had a broadhead and 3 inches of arrow imbeded in the neck and stuck in the base of the skull. I found out who shot it and it happened almost 2 weeks b4! I didn't even think about giving him the deer, but.... HE GOT HIS BROADHEAD BACK!
