Windfall...Welcome to the 'Fire! Something to mention to all the deer hunters out there, in WI, MI and MN a fatally shot whitetail that bounds over a little brush or hill just might be found at the feet of another hunter. More than one deer has been contested by two hunters. Some say first to tag it, some say first to cut it.
My very first deer 44 years ago was being trailed by two hunters when I tagged it. I did not know the protocol. The other guys were adults, I was 14. My Dad said when two hunters shoot the same pheasant. the one who claims the bird should give the other hunter a shell. I gave the younger hunter a 30/30...
Around here if it's obviously already injured we usually give them the deer or at least half of it. But then deer are plentiful.
