Nothing hypocritical about it.If someone is legitimatley moving in to call and doesn't know another hunter is working the bird,there's no illegal acts and there should be no issues.If someone is stalking,with the intention of sneeking up on a bird and wacking it,that's friggin illegal.I don't care whether or not you think it can be proved.If someone did what the original poster did,they're breaking the law.If someone did that to a bird I was calling to,I ain't given em hug and wishing them better luck next time.
