Looks to be in great shape for three years in the woods. I would do the stand up thing I try to contact the guy.

I would try and contact him. If he wanted it he could either come get it, send money to cover shipping, or ship it to him C.O.D.

If I thought the guy actully shot it I would ask him if he wanted it. If not, on the cabin wall.

Ok, the rest of the story:
A lot of things went through my mind, but I texted his friend right away, after I found it, then told the other members in the club that I found the guy's deer. I took it home and restored it, the best I could.
My plan was to put it in the clubhouse and then maybe after a few years either give it to the guy or just forget it. A week or so ago, I got a text from the guy and he nicely asked if he could have it and offered to pay for it. I made him confirm it was the deer he shot, which I already knew it was. He sent me game camera pics of the deer.
He said he wanted to get it shoulder mounted. That was the turning point in my mind. He paid to have it shipped to him and he said that was about the nicest thing anyone had ever done for him. He got it a couple days ago and was so excited. He told me he had stopped drinking and he seemed like a different person. I always got along with him and didn't have any issues with him.
I knew it would mean much more to him than anyone else. He explained why he got out of the club and apologized for the way it happened (long story).
I knew if the roles were reversed, that's what I would want someone to do for me. I did not pursue contacting him directly since I knew his friend would tell him. I also knew if the deer was that important, he would make the effort to contact me.
In the end, I'm happy with the way it turned out, even though I was planning to nail it to the clubhouse wall.

I tend to agree with Troy. That is a clubhouse deer. He wasn't a member when it was recovered so I don't think he is entitled to it.
Now, it's not that big of a deal, so if you think he is going to cry about it, let him have it, but if it were me and I wasn't in the club, I wouldn't feel like I should have a right to it.
Should've found it when he shot it or stayed in the club if he wanted that badly.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

I tend to agree with Troy. That is a clubhouse deer. He wasn't a member when it was recovered so I don't think he is entitled to it. That was the exact conclusion I had come to, even though I did give it back. He got out of the club because he got hurt and was out of work for several months. He had to take care of his family rather than support his hobby. The main rub was that he kept saying he was going to pay, but never did and we had to scramble to cover what we needed. When it was mentioned about him getting back in, several members were strongly against it.
