aA group of four friends went deer huntingand paired off in twos for the day.
that evening just before dark one of the h****rs returned alone staggering under the weight of an eight-point buck.
"Wheres Henry " the other two h****rs asked.
"Oh Henrys about three miles back that way,he shot himself in the foot and cant walk".The successful h****r replied.
"What,you left henry bleeding and unable to walk and brought that deer back to camp"?the horrified others exclaimed.
"Well it was a tough call but I figgered no one would want to steal Henry.

This has a strong element of reality to it 2 ways . If you had a gun shot foot & couldn't walk, how would you like to be d**gged 3 miles back to camp? Other h****rs would think you shot him & were hunting other h****rs. ! I hunted elk in a Crowd in Wash State for 40 years. It was a short season, small area, many h****rs, personalities change very drastically & many h****rs would steal an elk from you many ways without hesitation. 5 h****rs would converge on a single h****r after he gutted it out & skinned it suggesting they shot it first very strongly with 5 guns in hand & that gave them priority over possession & would often succeed. It first often depended on the size of the rack & how many holes in it as the farther it ran the more lactic acid in the meat ruining its taste. Experienced h****rs who finally Anchor an elk would count holes, if too many & leave it for other h****rs to tag. Early morning elk were highly desirable. It's not a law of hunting who shot it first but it was theirs & the majority usually wins like some Supreme Court Decisions recently as sick as they were violating their oath.
Occasionally their Pick-Up Truck suffered Rem 7MM Mag holes in their tires as they left & would be still their when the game warden came later. That happened to me one time & I got it back. This particular practice stopped after that.
I wrote the first article on "How To Hunt in a Crowd" in Sports Afield in 1975 exposing these problems & none since as writers never hunt in public lands. They hunt up in the Boon Docks with a Horse & Tonto for a guide where there are few other h****rs. This conduct doesn't get reported in the mags as the writers never experience it where they hunt. I have a book on this I've completed with many such stories that elk h****rs should know about in particular how expensive it is to go elk hunting & the risks. Losing an elk this way is very expensive & d********g as you might only get one every 10 years. In many k**ls in a Crowd there are usually 3-8 h****rs arguing with very aggressive arguments who really deserves to tag it as it can take a lot of lead. The h****r who Anchors it usually tags it ethically. One Smart h****r had his initials engraved on the base of the bullet & used the argument that the bullet in the best k**l zone should be awarded the elk & won the argument twice. One h****r I saw never even had a shot at it, claimed he did like all the rest but won the argument. He was a brilliant lawyer from Seattle. I got his name for future employment if I needed one. When the rest left I said "it's the first time I ever saw a h****r tag an elk with his mouth" He said "you learned something you didn't know about Verbal Ballistics of elk hunting Sonny." He had "5 VB's" carved on his stock.
It's somewhat like smart bears now who hear a shot, find the h****rs with their downed game partially prepared for easy eating suggesting they move on (read my Bear lips), find other game, they won't be bothered, this is my country, this game will last me for a week & I won't bother you--fair enough? Some older Bear h****rs get a good stand, fire a shot every 15 minutes & just wait relying on Bear Greed! Some h****rs have switched to Bow&Arrow for these reasons--it's more private, quieter & safer. There is a survival version joke of 2 h****rs run into a charging bear. One h****r shoots the other h****r in the knee making him easier game for the bear!
