I agree. And we're probably on opposite teams.
This thread reminded me why I hate hunters.
I mean. All my friends that hunt, I like. But dealing with hunting clubs, the majority of the people I encounter just really suck it seems like.

Hyperbole, but still.

The story was told from 1 perspective so it was framed to be sympathetic towards the kid. The dad needs his nuts kicked up between his shoulders, but they're probably in his wife's purse. He had the perfect opportunity to teach an awesome life lesson, but he chose to run to the local media.
ETA: what does hunting clubs have to do with this story?

Why would you give a deer to someone that didn't kill it?

It's about the kids brah, they don't even need to hit me nowadays. I wonder, do you bloody the face of a kid that was gifted his first deer?

Not from South La
Sorry if you don't understand what it is to be an ethical hunter.

Doesn't matter. Finding one with a dog is being rewarded for what is usually a bad shot
This is dumb. I have a lab that blood trails. The reward is seeing that lil fricker find a deer in two minutes that may take a couple hunters 30 plus minutes or may not even find it. I don't really deer hunt but it's awsome to watch him work. Last year 10-11 year old shot a nine point early season one morning. His dad called me and said he hit it but not well. I say stay the hell away of that's the case and I'll be at your lease in a hour. Of course, he went and looked and lost blood 30-40 yards. I put the dog on it and he finds the deer in a few minutes. Little boy gives my dog a hug and says thank you to the dog and myself. That's the reward for putting a dog on a deer.

Please elaborate on this first blood/ethics in hunting for me

If I was the landowner, it would have all depended on how the dad acted. If the dad's teaching the boy what he did wrong, and trying to make a man out of him I would kindly let the lad have it. If the dad acted like one of the entitled-queens who shop at Wal-Mart...I probably would have kept it and kicked 'em off my land.

Had a sort of similar situation with some friends. Both shot at a nice deer on separate weekends on the same stand. Both shot in opposite directions a few hundred yards away from each other. Found blood for both but never found deer (had trailing dogs come look and everything). Last weekend of the season, someone is walking through the area and notices a dead rack deer. Its right in the middle of where these two guys shot. Not more than 150 yards from each spot where we started looking (was in a briar thicket that I guess cleared out a bit with freezes). One guy absolutely claimed it was his deer and wanted to skull mount the rack. The other guy didn't want to get into it, but when you talked to him on the side about it, he said he believes it's a good possibility it's his. It was actually funny to see the one guy stake so much claim to a deer he couldn't find for 2 months. I think they ended up just putting it on the wall in the camp and never really settled it.

Along this same storyline I had an arrow skip off an unseen twig and hit above the lungs on a decent 8 pt a few years back. Arrow flipped out the other side and I watched the deer walk off after his initial jump and run. Non-lethal hit.
Two weeks later guy on the lease shoots the same buck trailing a doe. As he is showing us back at the cabin I notice the deer looks awful familiar and tell him it's the same buck I winged two weeks prior. He shakes his head and refuses to believe me until I pull back the bucks hair at the spot and there is a perfect broadhead scar already healed up and hair growing over it. He was in shock ..., I think because he had some crazy notion I might try to claim his deer (He's originally from Michigan)
I just laughed, shook his hand and congradulated him on his kill.
Whitetails are tough critters , especially when non-mortaly hit.
That said I have also taken deer in the past just to put them out of their misery from horrendous gun wounds.

You will love this story. Probably 20 years ago in Tensas on doe war day. Three of us walked in together. We got on a ridge and just all got on same ridge, probably 1/4 mile apart, looking over a bottom.
I hear ALOT of shooting, then a few doe feed out. I shoot one, she runs and I see her fall. Climb down, go get her, drag her under tree, sitting at base of tree I hear crashing and here come a line of deer, the last one has a front leg hanging by the hide...I chamber one and shoot her.
Shortly after, here comes another gimp, blood up high on shoulder and holding its rear leg in the air walking on three. I shoot him.
Here I am with three dead deer. My partners come up with one dead deer. While we were out in bottom we see orange come in tracking a deer. A dude walks right down the path I shot the little buck comes out in bottom and asks if we saw a deer come thru. I said yes, and pointed to the buck and said this is your deer. He came up to the buck and said 'nope, mine was a lot bigger'
he and his buddy turn around and leave! We don't even say a word. Just stare at each other.
We had no idea what to do, so we took all four to edge of road, it was cold, so we left the buck there under some palmettos. Ended up driving back over and picked up the deer the next day, got scared to try to pass it off as that days deer and just left refuge without checking it in.
Still remember it like yesterday.
