The grass is always greener. With visions of sugarplumbs dancing in our head. REALLY, there are lots of places to hunt, you've hunted up to this point. If you can honestly walk up to the guy and ask to hunt, without telling him my brother is dating your daughter, then do it. Do the whole bit like you're not related. I say this only because your brother has ask you NOT to do it. I'd really honor his request. There must be something there you're not hearing or not being told. I think you brother doesn't want to jeopordize his situation with the family by asking something he obviously feels just isn't right in this situation or at this time. Which is more important to you, family wishes and desires or the greener grass. Dreams of monster bucks are temporary. Family is forever.
