First, I hope he doesn' t read this message board!!! On the other hand, I am used to hunting with my dad. He and I share information, tips, tactics, sightings, etc. I believe that even if he wasn' t my dad, as a hunting partner I would tell him. Think of it this way, if he has seen the deer and hasn' t told you, by telling him, maybe you can build some trust between you. Isn' t that what a hunting partner is all about anyway?
