I guarentee someone else has been hunting it for him. We get a lot of that here in michigan, especially when gun season starts. Some of these people who buy licenses should not be allowed to hunt and surely can't call themselves hunters. Hopefully that is not the case, but I would imagine if his farm land is in an area with deer, there are hunters sneaking on his land, unless someone actively patrols it. I guess I am bitter because I run into that nonsense all the time in southern michigan. If his farm is in the U.P. he probably won't have this problem.
