Who should get the deer???

That's my 2 pennies,,,,take it FWIW......YMMV

What kind of lingo is that. You swahili or something.

The deer was dying as he walked up to it. The Vermont hunter never should have chased the gunshot and put himself or another in danger the way he did.

It was decided rationally and without arguing once the CO talked to him, Vermont, about hunter ethics.

I was raised first blood gets the animal.... Found and finished a couple and gave them to the hunter who shot them originally...20-30yrds is ridiculously dangerous ....Vermont guy a nut

Im actually amazed you were able to get a game warden to show up that fast.

Nor do I. I am more concerned about the reckless discharge of a firearm. Charges should be laid. We already have a difficult time with convincing people how safe this pastime is without dummies like this. Meat is secondary to safety.

I also want to know why a person in hunter orange can't be seen 20 yards by another hunter. Something doesn't smell right here.

I have hunted in many situations where you could not see the other hunter 20 yards away, this was pretty normal when we were setting up drives, you just have to plan it and do it safely so everyone knows where the other guy is and shoots into a safe backstop.

We had numerous situations where 2 guys were shooting at the same deer at the same time from 2 different angles, when the bush is tight and the runs are close together then you sit close together.

Why does this same scenario get posted every year....whoever killed the deer tags it...end of story!

Oh man that is a crappy situation. It was Michigans first deer & now he will have this bad memory forever.

The Vermont guy is a clown for going toward a gun shot & should be banned from hunting...

Just another reason to archery hunt... LOL

Should be like that.

But if the 2nd shooter ran over and away from his spot to go and see if someone shot a deer to finish it off and steal the dear before the original guys waiting to track it. ?

The Vermont guy is just a pure dick plan and simple.

Here is a nice example of it mike.

You are in a public forest. Im at one end and you are at the other. You shoot a deer.
Wait 15 minutes to let it rest. But hey im going to run as fast as i can look for your wounded deer shhot it again cuz even if it is dead you are not there yet and i could say hey it was still alive and tag the deer. Your ok with that.

[fishfood]

Maybe if the guy stayed on his watch after the shot. The other wounded the deer it may die or it may not . But the deer is still running away. 2 nd shooter takes a shot and then yes . Different action different out come.

Maybe the deer would not have died maybe it was a bad shot . Maybe the was hit good but still went a few km away who know yhats when its the 2nd shooter gets the kill. .

Not because i ran over and tried to steal your deer
