I agree with Dennis on this one...
I've had folks withdraw to "get out of my way" but the truth is, if I was beating them, I will likely continue to do so and don't need them to step aside. And guaranteeing that I get a first and a first, without any competition, is not exactly fair to the guy in another cast that had to hunt two hours with competition.
Of course it's also not fair, if that me-too dog finally gets one coon by itself in the last five minutes, and beats me by 25 points, after "tagging along" all night!
So I guess it's really a case by case basis, but I'm not sure that either approach is really "unsportsmanlike".
