Hey guys. The land in question is only around 60 acres of corn and bean fields in between two sets of woods that I CAN'T hunt. Both sets of woods are hunted so I can't really manage the deer other than passing on them myself and hoping they last through the rest of the season. Because of this, good bucks are very hard to come by. Does are somewhat more plentiful but not by much. I am lucky to get one dear all season long out there. I already had my doe last year and it was the last weekend of the season so I invited him last year for a DOE ONLY hunt. Now he is talking about getting a buck.
The hunter and I are pretty good friends. We are in fantasy football together and hang out a lot. That's what makes it hard. He doesn't have good land to hunt on but he really loves to hunt. He has also been hunting 10 years and has never gotten a buck. And last year was his first deer ever. So I feel horrible asking him not to take a buck on this land if he gets a shot. But when you might only see one or two bucks a year, I kinda want the first crack at them.
