[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1372462, member: 12443"] OK, so lets assume the 2 kids and their fathers didn't know each other and just happened to be hunting in the same area. Or lets assume there were no kids involved, and the incident happened between 2 total strangers. Does that change anything? And if so then why? No doubt the deer would have eventually died as a result of the boys shot. But would the boy have gotten the deer as a result of his shot? The killing shot is as a rule the determining factor and not the one that may have ultimately been a killing shot. A friend of mine had a similar situation this year while spotting for a guy he was hunting with. The buck was hit from the rear and it also took off his testicles the same as this incident. But in this case the buck almost immediately laid down and was in obvious discomfort until they finished it off while laying on the ground. So that could also have been a factor here as 2 shoulder shots on a moving deer isn't all that easy to accomplish, and there were no witnesses. Also the chances are that had it not been a trophy buck, but instead a small buck, we wouldn't even be hearing about the incident? And again, if not then why not? Does the principles involved change based on the quality of the deer? Chances are the adult would have congratulated the kid and shut his mouth. [/QUOTE]
