I'd have to go with first shot to anywhere in the body/legs(not some shot that blew off an antler or it's tail lol). I shot a deer in the a$$/hip w/my bow one time. Took for ever to track it and a fresh thin layer of snow helped out a ton but I finally was able to find it. Still alive but couldn't get up an run any more due to loss of blood/exhaustion. We've all made bad shots before and it might take forever to find the deer, but eventually they will die anyway and the original shooter has an obligation to do everything he/she can to find that deer they shot, regardless of how bad the shot was. Now the way the 4 guys acted is a diff story, had someone came up to me like that then I'd prob told them to F off and kept the deer out of spite but if they were polite, etc then I'd give the deer up due to them getting first shot.
