I recently shot a 140 class buck in Pa. One of my best friends is my hunting buddy. We scouted hard this year and had up 8 trail cameras looking for this buck which we got on camera in late Feburary. We worked as a team to shoot this buck and even though I arrow him I feel he is part of the kill. I would feel the same way if he arrowed him first. I know, that buck in the picture is a different class buck. He is enormous. Unless you have thousands of acres, that buck will probably travel miles when the rut comes in and neither you or your buddy will have another opportunity to shoot him, but someone else might. It would suck if someone you don't even know miles away shots him. Allowing your friend to hunt this property shows your a great friend. Sounds like your buddy is a good friend and has a lot of self control not to shoot that monster. Remember opinions are opinions and you will get many.
