When Your a Guest on Someone else's Land Your pretty well at their mercy and have to follow what rules they make.I can see if He wanting to let Smaller Bucks walk and to only take a Buck over a certain size....to have You chip in on the food plots,work and buy a stand and blind and not let You shoot a decent Buck as He would do isn't fair at all in my opinion?

If His goals are to thin out the Doe's and have a closer ratio of Bucks to Doe's then it's seems like a good idea....ask Him more questions about His Goals and how You fit in and what's expected of You now and in the future!

Land is expensive to buy and maintain so You have to look at things in His perspective....if You feel Your being asked to add more than You can afford or will get out of the deal then look for a different place to Hunt or find some Public Land to Hunt.Weigh out what You have to gain by staying or will be loosing if You go somewhere else or if You are better off finding a different place to Hunt?

When Your Hunting there's no guarantee of You or Your Hunting Partner seeing a Big Buck or it passing by His stand and not Yours....Good Scouting,Experience,being in the right place at the right time and Good Ol Luck is a big factor in seeing and getting a nice Deer!

When You improve Your Land by making food plots,some type of water source,adding minerals/salt and making it desirable for the Deer to stay there more it helps each Hunter there that put in Time,Money & hard Work!
