hunting high pressure areas

[MtnMike2]

Any hunter that would claim another's kill would be a real scumbag. But I could see how another hunter could shoot an already wounded deer, even if the wound was a kill shot just not down yet. In that case, I would approach the hunter and explain the situation but you would be subject to that hunter's manners. I hunt public land but fortunately have never faced that situation although I've read about others that have. Bugle Magazine had an article a while back where a man and his son were bullied and threatened away from an elk the son shot. I think incidents like that though are rare.
