I got in the woods about 630am sun rise is at 712am. I noticed the other guy walking in the woods about ten min. after i got settled in my tree stand, so i blinked my light at him so he could see there was another hunter in the area, but this guy kept on setting his tree stand up. This guy should of realized that i was there first and walked to another spot like i do when i see someone in the woods. Im always worring about my safty during shot gun season thats why i try to get up in the tree stand as high as possible to prevent someone else from shooting me. Before i get into the woods i always have a back up spot to go to just in case there is some one in my hunting area. I heard the guy set up in the morning and tryed to warn him that i was there, but he didnt care. Both of my shoots where to the east and he was set up to the north, so i was looking out for his safty, but he wasnt looking out for mine. The guy even said he heard me using my bleat call to call her in and still took the shoot. I should of never gave up the right to a coin toose and argued that indeed it was my KILL SHOT that took it down. If there was a law saying the last person to shoot it can tag it then i would of walked up and shoot it again, but i new that i made the KILL SHOOT, so i didnt. It should be a law that the first person to make a KILLING SHOOT they should tag it not the person who shoots at another persons deer that was indeed getting ready to expire. These type of people only come out for gun hunting they dont work there a$$ of all season bowhunting to get a deer. I been bowhunting all year every weekend to get the meat in the freezer and he comes out a few times in one week and shoots at another mens deer. He can have the deer i know i made the killing shot so i know in my heart its my deer.
