If the other caster is still maintaining Beast Summoning, then there would need to be a contest between the spells for the animals caught by both. You could make it very complex and roll for each animal caught by the spell and modify for proximity to the caster. I think it would be much easier to just roll once though for the entire overlapping area as a Quick Contest and call it good.

The effects may be felt up to 10 miles away, but it is a Regular spell. So all distances are measured from the person or object the spell is cast on, not the edge of the area since it is not an Area spell. The spell description also indicates that range does not matter, so I'm not sure why distance modifiers would even come into play.

No discussion on a specific spell from Magic is not surprising. See the many threads about the problems inherent with Magic if you really want to dive down the rabbit hole.
