Default RE: Ethics Out The Window!

Had almost the exact senerio happen with my buddy during a gun hunt a few years ago. I put him in my prefered spot for opening morning of the gun season in Southern NY. This deer comes through just like I told him and he shot it at about 5 yards from the ground. A 20 inch wide 10 point. I was only 100 yards away in a hemlock swamp so just waited a couple minutes after his shot in case something came my way. I gathered mystuff and walked over. When I got there there was another guy there having a big discussion with him. The other guy had literally blown the right front hoof off the deer 2 hours earlier. We had 4 inches of new snow so he was able to follow him across two pieces of posted property and into the state land. My buddies shot had broken the deers neck. I said, what's the problem here with all the raised voices. He said if two people hit a deer who's deer is it. I said the guy that delivered the first lethal hit in vitals. He said, here's my shot and here's his. the guy had shot the hoof off below the dew claw. I said well that deer will go forever with the foot shot. You broke his neck. It's your deer. The guy and he discussed it more as I took out my knife and started gutting. About that time the guys radio cherped and a friend of his ask him where in the hell he was and where's the deer. The guy was 1/4 mile behind trying to catch up. The guy informed him the deer was dead. His friend ask, How in the heck will we get him out of here. The guy informed him it wasn't their problem. He had been trying to convince my buddy ANY blood drawn and it was your deer. My buddy told him I just saved you a heck of a long walk in the woods.

Your guys sounds like a true jerk. What's with people anyway.
