RE: Hunting ethics, you make the call!
This is exactly why I' ve (unfortunately) had to scale back my hunting. That sort of thing happens ALL the time in the areas right around where I live, on public land. I bowhunt for fun and for relaxation, and it just doesn' t work if I" m elbow to elbow.
I agree, I' d leave, rather noisily, and most likely with a pit stop on the way out.
