A little ticked off after the season.......

On Friday I was archery hunting during Pa's rifle season. I noticed that a few doe where in heat (pee in the blood). Well I had a buck walk under my stand, giving me a 15 yard shot. I shot and smack pass through and can see the buck had stopped about 75 yards away. I see he starts to woble when BANG he gets shot by a rifle hunter. I make my way over to him to plea my case, but he said I put him down, its mine. So congrats to all that got one and good luck to those that are still out.

You're hunting 75 yds from a property line?.....and someone else is there with a rifle and you didn't know it? And your buck was wobbling when it got shot? He didn't see the wound you inflicted? He wouldn't reason?

That's some serious bad stuff, there. I wouldn't archery hunt in those conditions.

That sucks. I hope the guy feels real good knowing he shot somebody's elses "dead" buck.

I was hunt public ground, on a funnel, the hill curved sharply, he was down in the funnel, so I couldn't see him.

Very tuff to bowhunt this time of year, unless you have stricted access to the property. that sucks man

That really stinks. Some people have no ethics or decency. I am sure he was bragging it up to his buddies, as well.

I was wondering though, if I would have been able get that deer from him, would it have been ethical to enter him in the Archery contest?

That's not right. It's hard to chew back straps with gums. I'm just saying.
