paulcarol+FollowThis public land hunter tried to steal my deer after I shot itPicture this: I'm set up perfectly in my favorite spot, hour before sunrise. Then a UTV comes blazing through, ruining everything. But it gets worse. As I'm packing up, a nice 3-point walks out. Clean shoulder shot, saw him stumble and run toward where that UTV went. Minutes later, I hear rapid semi-auto fire. Found the guy standing over MY deer - now riddled with gut shots. When I politely mentioned I'd shot it first, he squared up and started yelling it was his kill. The broken leg and my bullet hole on the opposite side told a different story. I just congratulated him and walked away laughing. Enjoyed watching him try to clean those gut shots. Got a bigger buck in the same spot the next day anyway. Sometimes the best revenge is just letting karma handle things, you know? #Hunting #publicland #deerhunting #deerseason10741Share
