Two Hunters Shoot the Same Buck, Owner Decided with Coin Toss

I guess I can see where the land owner is the one that actually killed the deer but no way could I claim a deer that an 11 year old shot and tracked.. idk but seems like a dick move
ETA: After further review, the ruling on the coin toss stands, 2nd guy's buck
just seems to me like the guy acted like a dick.. idk
quote:
DJ Jorgenson was hunting with his son, Kameron, near the town of Oneida, Wisconsin when the boy shot and wounded the buck. The deer then ran off into private property, where another hunter managed to finish it off.
quote:
The landowner, Randy Heyrman, indicated that Jorgenson’s intial shot only wounded the deer in the leg and said it took an additional two shots to put the animal down. The hunters met at the edge of Heyrman’s property to discuss who would get the buck.
quote:
The Jorgensons and Heyrman decided to settle the matter with an old-fashioned coin toss, which the Jorgensons lost. Before they left, the young hunter took a quick picture with the buck he could not keep. DJ Jorgenson remarked that he believed the decision was fair, but remained disappointed that his son will have only a picture to remember the deer by

2 years ago I had this exact same situation. Saw the buck chasing a doe and passed on him. He ran on the neighbors property and the neighbor shot 3 times hitting him once in the leg just as the one pictured is. Buck comes back by me and I dropped him. After a short discussion on his shot vs mine I kept the deer.

if that landowner hadn't shot it, then the boy probably wouldn't even have "just a picture of the the deer"

i thought the same exact same thing, hat
but, then again, i wasn't out in the field fighting with a eleven year old over future grilled strap
you gotta give the deer to the kid though

My dad had a similar situation happen in Williana WMA. Guys shot a big buck (10 pt I believe) in the arse or something.. Came running on my dad about 400 yards down or so. Then my dad finished him off. But he never heard from the hunter lookin for it or anything. It is mounted in my dads house now

I'd have given the kid the deer.
Adult may be a different story. But a kid? Come on.

Good lesson for the young man. Shoot better.
In the days past didnt you just call 'hide or horns'?

I would've told the kid I shot it in the leg and his shot was a kill shot. Kid gets deer. Maybe I'm a nice guy though
Posted on 12/3/14 at 10:44 am to mylsuhat
I would have kept the buck and given the kid a participation ribbon.

Landowner is a jackass. They could have at least split the meat and let the kid have the head for a possible mount.

Put in the situation and assuming the landowner has probably killed a few deer in his time I'd give the deer to the boy and perhaps ask for a backstrap.
Mental note, I should open an ammo shop in Oneida, WI as those Cheeseheads apparently need 3 shots for every deer.

My initial thoughts:
1. You got to give that kid that deer or at least split the meat.
2. However, when I hear stories like this I now assume there is more to the story. I wonder if the landowner hadn't had problems with this happening with the kid's dad or other people hunting the neighboring property. That being said, kudos to the kid and his dad for not crossing the fence to go after the deer, but I do wonder if the kid and the landowner were hunting within sight of each other. That's kind of scary.
My older cousins tell a story about a hunt where my grandfather with his kids on one side (so my dad and uncles) and my grandfather's in-laws (so my great grandfather and his sons) stood over a deer shot arguing over which side got a deer that had been hit a couple of times when they were running dogs. Evidently it got really heated among a bunch of rednecks with loaded guns.
But that was before my family got a little less trashy and stopped running dogs.

What a dick. Unbelievable that a grown man wouldn't want the kid to have that deer, regardless of who fired the fatal shot.
Posted on 12/3/14 at 1:23 pm to mylsuhat
maybe the dad should teach his son to aim better

The fact that the guy even thought of taking that deer from that kid means he is a douche. It's pretty embarrassing.
On a side note, I know/knew a guy that shot a basket 8 on a WMA and then another guy shot him as well, about 150 yards away, also with a bow. Both had decent shots, and the deer died soon after the second arrow. There wasn't a bunch of bullshite about it, they talked and shook hands, forget how it ended up. There was a news paper article about it

Rifle season is short in WI. I have friends up there that go years without getting a buck. I can understand the land owner not wanting to give it up especially when the kid just hit it in the leg.
Posted on 12/3/14 at 7:02 pm to mylsuhat
They have two weeks of rifle season up there, pretty sure. When I lived in Milwaukee the schools were all closed for the first week. That's serious business up there. Why not split the deer with the family
Posted on 12/3/14 at 7:26 pm to mylsuhat
It's not even a very big buck. Technically it should go to the landowner, but anyone with a heart would have just let the kid have it.
Posted on 12/3/14 at 9:18 pm to mylsuhat
Why would you give a deer to someone that didn't kill it?

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.
