I'd tell him I was gonna kill everything I saw....and gut them on the property line....if he didn't produce my buck.

Whether you follow through with that or not....is your issue. I'd become the aggressor in this scenario, though. it can't hurt you, now. Your deer's gone.

How long did you let that deer lay there before you got down? Why did you stay in your tree? How fast COULD you have retrieved it?
