Wow! Thank you all for your advice. I thought I was in the right. A thing that really bothers me about this whole ordeal is that the first year we went hunting, I pulled a lot of strings to go on this commercial property, that used to be a Nitrogen Plant. They have the biggest population of deer according to the state of Nebraska. That land has a strict no-hunting policy, but we did the demo of the plant and I became a friend to the land owner. At the end of the project I asked if I could hunt there with a few people. He reluctantly agreed, but only muzzle loader and I was fine with that. We each had to give them our proof of licenses and id's to be approved. It was a big process. We even had to arrange it with the authorities because the policy is that its illegal to hunt there, so we had to get approved there too.

Before we went, I told them that they have several Trophy Bucks there and that I wanted someone in the group to take one down. We only had 6 days to hunt then this opportunity was over. I was the one that went thru a very long tedious process to get us all approved, yet I never told them they could not hunt the trophy bucks. I am all about the "team" as I believe hunting is somewhat a team spot, or at least is more fun when you have shared stories with a hunting buddy. I honestly would have wanted to be the one that took the trophy buck down, but that year one of the other guys I took there got a 12 pt. nice buck and I can honestly say I was happy for him and to be apart of the tracking and field dressing. It was my first year and that experience was awesome.

Thank you all because this helps me to figure out that if he doesn't change his view on this, that I will hunt elsewhere and not go back hunting with him again.
