[QUOTE="Colonel Angus, post: 62462, member: 351"] If I put down a deer that was mortally wounded or gut shot or even just had a leg taken off, I would give it to the hunter/s who initially shot it (if they come for it trailing blood.) If not then I get to tag it or go accross the fence and let that group know they have a dead deer to come and get. If the deer looked otherwise healthy when I shot it, I would stand my ground as this deer would have been fine if I hadn't shot it. Likely these hunters would be looking for an excuse to cross the fence and look around if they aren't trailing blood. As far as this story goes, these other hunters would have known that this deer was hit by another hunter first, and it must have been hit pretty good if it layed down so quick. I wouldn't think twice about letting the first blood hunter claim it, if it was clearly hit before the final shot. There should be good evidence of blood trail and wound. Many years ago, I was trailing a deer which managed to get into the gov't pasture where it met it's end in a hail of bullets. As I tracked the blood right up to the deer which was surrounded by hunters at this time, they asked me what I was doing? I told them I was trailing a deer. They assured me they hadn't seen any wounded deer. I probably would have done a little arguing, but didn't really want a deer with a half dozen holes in it. [/QUOTE]
