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.

I don't bow hunt but I have hunted high pressure areas. More than once I've brought down deer wounded by some yahoo who shot for the middle of brown. I don't have much use for gut shot der so when they come up hollering that I'm stealing their deer, I just say, No I'm not. I'm just making sure it didn't get away. Here hold that leg while we gut it." It's a losing propostition to maybe get into a fight or maybe shot over who's deer it is. Then too, I've had people tell me that because it's gut shot or otherwise poorly hit, "You keep it." makes me want to send them to a hunter ed class before they can ever get another license.
