RE: Doe shoot by me and another hunter, Who's is it?
Alright, here's my 2 cents......I don't feel like whoever shot it first or last matters....You need to sit down like sportsman and determine who made the killing shot.....I was sitting on a stand one day when I was a kid and here a shot way down below me, and about five minutes a doe came up and I shot and dropped her with a 30-30....I dressed the deer and put my rope around her and was headed back to the cabin with her....and a guy comes up and tells me that his deer and blah blah....I got to looking and back tracking the deer, and it was bleeding SOME....and then searched the deer and and there was a small nick on her....but I was a kid and he was a grown man that I didn't know....so he took the deer.....and that still bothers me and someone would do that to a kid......but I felt and I knew that I had made the killing shot, and besides that deer was running UP the mountain.....but anyway, your case is a little more questionable.....I'd personally say you made the killing shot....offer a split, take the deer back to a camp and split it....you never know, you might even make a friend.....or better yet.....take the deer to hunters for the hungry....just work it out.....it can be worked out....if both parties are willing.
