Let’s just say......it is the same deer and it lives in the woods you have permission to hunt in.
And, then, let’s say that the guy IS hunting him.

Do you know without a doubt that he does not permission to hunt ANY property that he deer may roam onto?
What about his own property? Do you know that the deer never comes onto it? He said he was using a crossbow.....heck, maybe he was in his backyard?
What if he just did not want to disclose any real information to a complete stranger on an Internet talk forum??

I do NOT know!!!

But, I would have kept my mouth shut and found out firsthand for myself before making such claims.
