Ethics
I want your guy's opinions on a situation my neighbor and hunting mentor encountered while hunting
My neighbor has basically taught me everything i know about hunting and he has hunted with me the last several years. he has permission to hunt other properties but he hunts with me on my uncle's properties when im hunting and after i harvested my doe this year with my bow he went bowhunting without me which i dont care about because it is a good woods to hunt in with alot of deer and nice bucks also.
One night he goes out to hunt and there is a guy hunting in one of the stands we hung earlier in the season my neighbor walks up to the guy and he says he is a nephew of my uncle so my neighor says ok and walks through the woods to another stand we also hung. As he sits there he can see the other guy and a buck starts to approach but then smells the other guy and my neighbor starts to grunt at the buck and it heads up to him and he shot him at 20 yrds my neighbor came and got me at home and i helped him track it and it was a decent buck 16 in wide woulda been an 8 pt but had 3 pts broken off.
my question is do you think although this nephew was sitting in our stands we hung was unethical to me it just pisses me off that someone would do that if he woulda asked i would have been fine with it and went out with him
sorry for the length guys just had to vent
