Well, I hope everything works out for you. I know here bow hunting is not as popular as other places but, people are starting to accept it more all the time. We have the problem of some that lacks an interest to hunt and they spread rumors of how they saw a deer running with an arrow stuck out of it. They claim to see that same deer for about 2 weeks. I have only shot 4 deer with a bow but, we can only shoot 1 deer a year in this area. I have never lost one yet and have shown some the damage a bow will do to a deer. That means less rumors about things they do not understand. Perhaps that is why he does not allow bow hunting on his land? Also if other farms around the area allows bow hunting perhaps this will cause more deer to move into the area that you are trying to hunt on... Anyways good luck on getting to hunt it.
