ONEIDA, WI (WTAQ) - Two hunters near Green Bay each tried to claim ownership of a nine-point buck they shot -- so they settled their dispute with a coin flip.
The gun season was only a couple hours old last Saturday, when 11-year-old Kameron Jorgenson wounded the buck in the town of Oneida.
He and his father D.J. followed the deer to a neighboring property where the landowner -- Randy Heyrman -- finished it off with two shots from his hunting stand.
FOX 11 said the hunters were deadlocked over who could keep the deer -- so they flipped a coin, and Heyrman won. All Kameron got was a photo -- and according to one official, he wasn't even entitled to that.
Shad Webster of the Oneida conservation agency said hunters need a landowner's permission to follow a deer onto that person's property -- and the landowner has the right to take the animal.
