Maybe this could have been a good oppurtunity to show them how to prperly track a wounded animal. If you would have taken the time to show them how to track a deer and answer their questions, it may have helped them grow as hunters and become more successful in the field. Whether we are 5, 15, 20, or 50 years old, we all have to start sometime. No one is born a good hunter, they pick up on things as they hunt and gain a learning experience from every outing and other hunters that aid them with advice and help. These guys might be trying to pick up the sport b/c they didn't have a family that could teach them while they were growing up, like many of us were fortunate enough to have. IMO, you handled this situation very poorly, and showed a lack of class. This was a bad, bad example of how a true outdoorsman would conduct himself in such a situation.

BTW, what you did was Poach, no two ways about it. I don't care what state, county, town, or community you are apart of. If a lady wants someone to watch her property for trespassers, you do not have permission to hunt her property, and you shoot an animal while it is on her property, that IS poaching.
