And yes when my tags are filled or my limit is reached I unload my gun
Where I live that is not a legal requirement nor should it be.We have had several hunters attacked and even killed by black bears and grizzlies.It is not at all uncommon for them to show up at a kill site when an animal is being dressed.
I can see one exception that I would allow if I were making the law and that would be to allow any hunter in the party to finish off an animal thats already wounded. I doubt that its legal but it should be
I will not see an animal suffer unnecessarily.If we are searching for an animal that one of us has wounded,whoever finds it will kill it as soon as possible to end it's suffering.A wounded animal can go a long ways in a hurry and we aren't going to risk having it limp away into cover while waiting for the person that wounded it to arrive to finish it off.It is actually illegal according to our laws but I believe it is the morally and ethically right thing to do.
