RE: Let him hunt or not
I have no land. I either hunt public, or a friend of a friends up north. If he were to say to me, Don't take any grouse this year, or bunnies, or a big buck or whatever I would expect never to be invited back if I did it. Its HIS land and I am just a guest using it. He is generous enough to let me use the house and land even when he is not there. I go out of the way to make it better then when I found it because I want to get invited back.
This being a 15 year friend, everyone deserves a second chance. Lay down clearer rules, make it crystal clear what you expect. Your not a jackass its your hosue your rules they want to play they have to follow them its plain and simple.
If you invite me over to hunt I will do whatever you say.
