One more tidbit of information I left out. This wasn’t the first issue with him hunting on my lease. First gun season he shot at a buck 15 yards away and grazed his leg. I heard the shot and asked him if he shot a deer. He denied shooting and said it was on adjacent property and it wasnt him. When we got back to camp I noticed two shells missing from his shell holder and he then admitted to shooting at the buck. He said he didn’t hit it and the deer was fine. I thought he was embarrassed at missing one so close and this is why he didn’t tell me, so I let it go. Second season he actually got another shot at the same buck in a different stand and killed it. I then saw the graze wound and he told me he knew he hit it. This isn’t about deer hunting; this is all about ethics, character and honesty. He obviously has none of those. He claiming the dead buck as his own and walking into the sanctuary was the last straw. I'm done with this thread and thanks to all of those who posted intelligent answers. It’s clear to me I don’t want to be friends with someone like this now.
