James, I am with Txcowboy and the other who commented on safety and being so close. Now you come back to inform us you knew that the guy was near the whole time. Ok so you tried to warn him but he didn't care about your close corners...so being the safe one with a backup spot...why didn't you move. Knowing this guy was obviously a tool, you could have prevented this and thank god it never came to a real safety issue. I have encounter these types, even though I was their first. I choose to leave for safety and hunting reasons.

As far as arguing over a dead deer, i wouldn't have bothered. People like this are better off at home tagged out then wandering the woods with a weapon. You missed your first shot and hit the second only seconds later he pops her again...coin toss I guess...but why would anybody want to claim someone elses animal? I understand your frustration here, but if you knew he was their and had a back up spot, wouldn't you agree it would have been prevented and more useful to have moved? I believe part of safety is defence, if you put yourself in harms way your not being safe. Just a thought!
