Now say you already have your buck tag filled, but your friend doesnt. Hes out trying for a buck and you are trying for a doe.

The problem is that your friend cannot see the buck, and the only way he could see it is to get on his knees and turn around. But if he does this, that buck would probably high tail it the other direction.

Now youre already in position that you know would be an easy shot.

My question is: Couldnt you aim at the buck with your gun, and tell your friend to reach over and pull the trigger?

After all, Ive heard that the person who pulls the trigger is the killer.
OK, people read and comprehend the OP. The hypothetical has the two hunter seated NEXT TO ONE ANOTHER. The shot could be taken by the turned party.

One question is what is the friend looking for in a buck?

Another is, has it been decided that either party can shoot for the other to fill tags?

Party hunting can be a no win situation, hypothetical or not.
