Dispute over 9-point buck settled with coin flip in Wisconsin

Published January 08, 2015

A dispute over a nine-point buck in Wisconsin was settled with a coin flip.

Wisconsin's deer season was just a couple hours old when D.J. Jorgenson says his 11-year-old son, Kameron, wounded the buck in the Town of Oneida.

Jorgenson tells WLUK-TV (http://bit.ly/1uGWtCm ) they tracked it to a neighbor's property. Neighbor Randy Heyrman shot twice from his stand to finish off the buck.

With the deer dead and the hunters deadlocked over who could keep it, they flipped a coin.

Kameron called tails. It came up heads. Heryman claimed the buck. All Kameron got was a photo.

Shad Webster of the Oneida Conservation Department says hunters need permission to follow a deer onto private property, and the landowner has a right to take the deer.
