In my opinion if a hunter puts his stand in a position where shooting on other property is an option when the hunter had other areas he could have put the stand that would not cause the situation to arise, then he willl most likely intends to take a shot if it is the right deer. You may not like the answer but that is my veiw of human nature.
You would need more information in any situation before you label someone a dumb hunter. You don't know what other factors are in play. Not saying your calling anyone a dumb hunter or anything. But I do agree with the last part you said.
