I'm not quite sure, but I think I detect a bit of sarcasm with the brown beenie comment. In your oppinion the other guy readied his rifle too early, but if it had been a deer coming through and he waited until he saw the deer, then the deer quite possibly would have seen the hunter move his gun to shoot and the deer would have been gone, or some poor shots would have been taken at a running target. Also if your buddy was wearing the clothes you said he was, he was walking along a deer trail as you said he was and the other hunter was on private land as you said he was, then I think your buddy should tell the other hunter thanks for being sure of his target before shooting and move on his merry way!
