Suppose you are hunting
and shoot a deer or a duck,
which falls mortally wound-
ed. Before you can get to it,
another hunter beats you
there and claims the fallen
game as his own. What are
your rights?
Jirn had been hunting all
day without success, and had
headed for home when he fin-
ally saw a deer. He took
careful aim and hit the deer
with his first shot. Although
mortally wounded, the deer
managed to run a short dis-
tance, with Jim in hot pur-
suit.
Roy was also deer hunting.
He heard Jim’s shot and saw
a deer running toward him.
However, before it reached
the spot where he was stand-
ing, the deer fell to the
ground.
Although it was obvious
that the deer was about to die,
Roy walked to within
three feet of it, delivered

the finishing shot, and quick-
ly put his tag on it. When
Jim ran up and claimed the
deer, Roy said that such deer
were wild animals, and be-
longed to no one until killed.
Since he was the one that
killed the deer, Roy claim-
ed that it belonged to. him.
Which hunter has legal
title to the deer?
In this case the deer be-
longs to Jim. Jim was the
first to wound it, and did
so before Roy appeared on
the scene. He had mortally
wounded the deer, and had it
in such a situation that its
escape was improbable,
if not impossible. The
prevailing rule is that the
instant a wild animal is
brought under the control
of a person so that actual
possession is practically inr
evitable, a vested property
interest in its accrues which
cannot be divested by an-
other’s intervening and kill-
ing it, or reaching it first.
Jim had delivered the shot
which so crippled the animal
as to cause him to cease
trying to escape, thus per-
mitting Roy to walk up to

“I moved up here to get
away from the poll takers!”
the animal and deliver
the finishing shot. Jim had
effectually brought the deer
under his control before Roy
took a hand in the matter.
The deer legally belonged to
Jim, and he can enfdrce his
claim in court.

THANKS BE TO GOD
Tune: National Hymn. 10. 10. 10. 10.
Thanks be to God for this great land of ours,
For waving grain and all the fruits and flowers;
Mountains and plains, the rivers and the seas,
Tell forth His love, and waft in on the breeze.
Thanks be to God who made this world for us,
His law supreme, His will so glorious!
Let truth be loved in every human heart;
Let God direct, be compass and be chart.
Thanks be to God for life and hope and Joy;
Thanks be to God, no power can these destroy;
Thanks be to God for Christ, Incarnate Word!
Thanks be for Him! Oh let Him now be heard!
