I agree with skeeter, so long as it's from our group. It has happened in the past and never has there been a question. Now if it involves a total stranger, everything can change. It happened to my buddy a few yrs back. He has shot a small buck (4 pointer, about 135 pounds dressed) with his 30/06 from his treestand. The deer was hit good and ran about 30 yds when he heard another shot. By the time he got down and approached the other hunter, he was putting his tag on it. My buddy's shot had gone right through the lung and heart area and the deer was dead before it ran. The evidence was clear that the second shot was never needed. Massive blood trail from the initial shot. Sooooo, the other hunter got the deer and legally, it may be the case, but there is also something called integrity. In essence, my opinion, the other hunter legally stole someone else's deer. My buddy kept saying.."It ain't right"....and he said he would not have done that to any hunter.......There are many situations and scenerios that must be addressed on it's own merit, but this was blatant.....Use common sense and in almost all cases the right thing will be done. If a hunter shoots a deer, hits it and it still runs to the next county before another hunter drops it, then the situation is conmpletetly different...
