[QUOTE="jpfrog, post: 1372482, member: 32525"] This makes no sense (to me, anyway)- it's almost suggesting a participation trophy mentality for hunting. The kid's shot went through no vitals, only wounding the deer. The OP placed two shots behind the shoulder in the boiler room, writing in stone the fate of the animal and providing a clean, ethical end to the story. If it were my son, recognizing this very good teaching opportunity, I'd have said something like "This is why you don't rush your shot, and make sure it's a good shot before taking it" while showing him the small wounding result of his error. I'd then book some time at the range to build his confidence back up, and book another hunt to get him another chance at success. The OP should have received the harvest, as he's the reason it happened. Either way, sad story- I can sit here and think I'd have been understanding and forgiving, but in all honesty, I would probably find a way to always be "busy" the next time the other father/son combo wanted to go hunting with me again.
