    Some people are just peculiar and you have to follow their rules.

    Unfortunately it puts Chef in a bad spot with his buddy but it's not his call.
    Best synopsis yet....

      I think the point is,it’s not really a lease but FAMILY land. I hunt my in laws place and anyone coming with me will do exactly as I say or they can hunt somewhere else

          Are they still friends?

            A lot of you are assuming he's going to somehow lose his friendship for kicking a guy off a lease he probably should have been kicked off of.

            Sounds like his buddy screwed up, knows he screwed up, self reported, and got what he probably expected was coming. No big deal, no hard feelings. Water under the bridge.

              a bol vouches for a guy to add as a member, who brings another bol......

              2nd bol and his host will never be back. 1st bol better understand why.

              it aint about a stinkin' deer. its about trust and respect. once you get permission to bring a guest, you better choose wisely.

                Been there done that and it's hard. I brought my good friend at Thanksgiving to hunt at our family place. My family especially my dad is not thrilled. I tell him does only. What does he do? He shoots a 10-pt 2 year old with a 10" spread and gleefully tells us all about it. He hasn't been allowed back. Been almost 20 years.

                  I admit I didn't read all the responses.

                  Is there a rule against guests shooting deer?

                  If not, why doesn't the deer count as your friend's buck for this year?

                  If there is a rule about guests shooting deer, then you did the right thing.

                          Friend of mine had a friend bug him to let his son shoot a doe and he finally agreed. He had a 130’s buck that he mentioned a Hunter was coming to try and take him for $2000. Man and son went out with the “only a doe” instruction, they came with a 150’s 10 point. My friend was fuming and tried to make the best of it and tried to charge him a trophy fee for taking the deer. His so called friend said heck no and left, they are no longer friends..

                            I would have a problem with said best friend when I asked if he had told his BIL what he could and couldn't shoot and twice got the response "well I didn't think he would see anything".

                            I know we are only getting one side of the story but that response doesn't sound like a responsible hunter/best friend would give to a best friend. I can assure you the rules would have been made perfectly clear about whats on the ok to shoot list before I would ever put someone out by themselves.

                              Don't expect much from the in-laws for Christmas this year.

                                Similar thing this year. Leasemate (only two of us) took a customer out with his son. Idea was the kid had never shot a deer, so let him pop a doe. I was completely cool with that. What ended up happening was a good 10pt came out and 'guest/dad' takes rifle from son and shoots it. Will be the biggest buck killed on our place this year. Leasemate can't say anything for blobvious business reasons. Leasemate has been a very close friend for 35 years. Story ends with a simple "that sucks". That buck is not worth a friendship to me.
