I'd try to keep a low profile on the situation. If this guys gets to the landlord and starts complaining, he may change his mind about allowing you to hunt. If you are not worried about the landlord, themn just do your thing.
I would have never asked the landlord. You are renting a house with what 9 acres (sorry I didn't go back and read) I would have just hunted it. I don't recall in any of my leases to my tenants an anti-hunting clause. If it's legal to hunt it then just do it.
Good luck
