Says to the kid, "See this is ok."
We don't know the whole context. The boy may have been upset all night about it and the father was just trying to keep his spirit from being broken.
In my opinion, we all have a limited time to spend with our children before they are grown. Sure, ethical decisions are something they need to learn, but beating up on a kid because of something like this would not be the way I would have approached it.

great way to teach when not to shoot
The kid may have drawn back on 4 deer that year, spooking them or missing. We don't know. Yes the deer were bunched up, but to say the father knew the boy would shoot 2 deer in one shot would be a stretch.
I said I wasn't faulting the father for the way he handled it. I think we can agree the father should have taught the boy not to shoot one like that, but to say none of us have made a mistake during the excitement of a hunt would be a stretch.

To me, it was the worst possible outcome
I can think of 1,000 different outcomes that I would consider worse than this.

I generally just don't agree with the rest.
