I’d kill him and then rag my buddy about it.

^^THIS^^

Daddy always said you find out who your TRUE friends are when you go hunting or fishing with em.... When you lease a property together there is No MY field or Your field and if that's the case I would be looking for a new Hunting buddy..... Piss on that deer he can have him.....unless he comes by me first....

Yo field, kill it..

Shoot it ! While in college I stayed summers and worked for a man who owned a mechanic shop. I helped him build roads, plant, and whatever he wanted me to do (I was the grunt boy). He and 3 of his buddies leased some good land and told me I could hunt with him some. Long story short, I ask him if I could hunt the last day of season as he wasnt going. He said sure, come by and get the keys to gate. Well it stormed all night and was still raining when I woke up. I decided to go but thought if its still raining I gonna just drive back. Well it slacked off and I went to our closet shooting house where I had to cross the bridge I toted and did most of the grunt work. I walked up to the shooting house took a piss and climbed up in it. It was still dark, and I went to sleep for a bit. Woke up and looked across the foot plot and could see the bride to my right with water rolling down that creek. The rain stopped and then came a beautiful early morning blue sky. I sat there for about hour, and decided to head on back to the truck...I thought Im not gonna see a see who am I fooling. I walked back across the bridge stopped and layed my rifle over my forearm and as I was putting in a big ole dip, and big arse buck walked right of of the pine thicket on the logging road I was then standing on with his nose to the ground. He walked out 60 yrds from me heading right at me but nose to the ground. I eased the old 270 up and took the shot, and the rest was history. I was by myself and finally got him out of the woods (no fourwheeler) back to the truck and was hell getting him on the bed of my truck. Then called the man I worked for and he told me to bring it by the shop. Once he saw the 9 point his facial expression told the story, and didnt seem to happy about it, and had been after that deer. I never ask to hunt with him again nor did I do anymore grunt work. Pure luck killing that buck ! Dang this was a long story.

What the heck happened to hunting a good deer to put a lil meat in the freezer? If you did kill a goodun you just propped his head up higher than the truck bed, leave the garage door open when you cleaned him (shut it if it was a doe) or strap to hood of the car and drive around town. I miss the days when my grandpa, uncle and dad would send us down a road with an old 16 gauge and a handful of buckshot. If someone killed a deer with horns higher than his ears everyone was excited and grandpa would tell all his friends at church on Sunday morning (especially if one of the grand boys killed it).

Let's recap:

You and a buddy leased some property for hunting.

He's killed a bunch of bucks, you have not.

He has a nice buck showing up on camera on "his" field, since apparently y'all have "my area" and "his area." (That makes ZERO sense to me for leasing property to hunt but so be it).

You've told him if you see the buck you'd "not let it walk."

He is "all for it, just to be clear" about whether you can/could/should shoot it on "your" area.

You feel bad about this possibility.


If you see the buck you should wave and spook it onto your lease partner's "area" so he can kill it. Then you'll feel better.

Id kill him twice .lol

If you don't want me to shoot a nice buck, you best not invite me to hunt with you.

I hunt legal, and will follow your age rules, but if I see a good deer, I'm gonna make a hole in him. I've seen me do it.

Choot Em

I understand that he has the deer as his number 1 deer.
But I would shoot it in a heartbeat.
I hunt multiable lands, and have several
Good bucks on trail cam. But it ain't very often
You kill that number 1 buck.
I will say I have killed some good bucks I have
On camera. When you do kill one like that it does
Make it special. Shoot it if the chance occurs.

I let a really large 8 walk once because I wanted my son to possibly get a chance at him the next day. He was supposed to have been with me that day but decided not to go at the last minute. It would have been my best deer. I watched the buck feed about 30 yards away from me for a solid 45 minutes. We never saw him again. Who’s to say the same wouldn’t happen to y’all with this deer?

I didn’t read past this line because I don’t follow the logic.

You paid your $
Assuming you put equal share of your work time in
You see a shooter 1/2 mile from where he’s hunting.
You kill the deer.

100% chance he wouldn’t pass him up if it roles were switched.

I passed the best buck on our place 3 times last year, hoping my wife could shoot him.

Last pic last season was her walking away from the camera, then him walking same direction an hour later. We "discussed" that I ain't passing another good deer just to hope that she sees it.

Yup, I done the same on a buck for my GF, never seen it again. Good bucks are like gobblers, if me and a buddy’s is hunting, first one that has a kill shot, take it!

Kill him and tell your buddy you have had pictures of same buck on your plot a lot longer than he had pictures on his plot.

Good lord shoot him without hesitation. A real friend will be as happy as you are at your good fortune. If hes mad phuck him.and feed him fish food.

Life is too short not to have some good luck and enjoy it.

It’s been said either one of us see him bust him. There’s several bucks on the property. My main one disappeared which we have bigger issues now because a camera got stolen this past week and it’s not the easiest place to get to. Even with a atv or rzr it’s a task.

I'd look at the closet neighbor and set bait for em

That’s the plan jb I’m pretty sure it’s some kids because they ride wheelers up and down the road it’s only about 4 houses on that road and the 300 or so acres we have
