I had a deer " taken" away from me when I was a kid (16) and will never forget it. Still to this day (20 years later) haven' t forgotten about this, he is a family friend (not to me anymore though). Me personally, I go by first blood. I' m not going to tag a deer/elk that someone else shot first. If I put it down for good and see that there is another hole there I would wait for the other hunter to show up. But if it were reversed and I put a bad shot on a deer/elk, I wouldn' t complain either if the person who put it down would tag it.
