As I sit here bored

It's all fair game IMO, just as if you were buddies hunting the same place. Would you feel different if you had shown him #1 & #2 first??
 
Maybe I'm weird, I'm crazy happy for someone to kill a good buck. If he ain't that type of guy...then that's his problem, not yours. Do what makes you be able to sleep at night.
 
Not being harsh but I have had a boat load of deer on my property over the years that my family and I have let walk to let grow just to get hammered when they jump the fence. Unless you have a permit and a high fence you don't own deer and I understand that. Having said that if it's a shooter deer in my book and it presents a shot it's a dead deer.

Dan always has a way to point out the obvious lol....
Any of the shooters coming by will get an arrow heading it's way.... He's cool with it and I'm targeting the one he hit last year and made a bad shot on it.... Left side is a little weak this year but he's got some mass and height too him....
He's about 500 yards from my closest stand and right now they're making their way to two of my stands from the property he's hunting as the beans were put in late and will be green for at least another week and a half or so....
Lots of interesting ways to let him know if I'm lucky enough to score one of them but a picture of it laying with he Xbow against will suffice lol....
 
I would agree with everyone else as to the fact that they are not HIS deer.

But, I was in that same dilemma for three hunting seasons at my place. While I was hunting Splitter, and only Splitter at my place I asked, not demanded, my stepson and hunting buddy to let him walk if they saw him. But, in reality if one of them had killed him, so be it. I played it the way I did for a few reasons. I owned the property, did 90% of all work there, my wife did most of the remaining 10%. I had built and placed all the stands, I paid all the expenses for electricity and did all the upkeep. I ran all the trail cameras, without them no one would have known the deer even existed. All my stepson and my buddy did was show up to hunt for the most part. The only person that helped out much was my SIL that doesn't hunt at all.

Some would say I was selfish, which I don't agree with at all. Any other buck they saw was fair game for the taking. And there were plenty of other decent deer to choose from. If the three of us had been hunting a property that we all just had permission to hunt I'd have never thought the way I did. No one owns a free range deer.

If I was in your situation Dick, I'd of done the same as you owned the property and allowed the other two to hunt it.... No different then a landowner who doesn't want bucks shot but take all the does you want... Your game, your rules....

They are not "HIS" bucks J.
I think most hunters running cams or scouting,glassing fields have target bucks they would like to kill but it doesn't always play out that way.
Some get hit by cars and some are killed by other hunters.
That's why it's called hunting.
Good luck i hope ya get one of them.
Not sure if he is your friend or just a guy hunting the property but if he has a problem with you kiling "HIS" buck he's not or would not make a good friend

Ditto
 
I would shoot all day long if it were to happen j. You both can hunt the same deer. They are not his deer.
