Whadya do?

[Wrong Way]

Legally, I'm right. I guess we are discussing morals here. As you appear to have none, I'll bow out of this thread as I doubt you will......

Thanks for the discussion to those that had something intelligent to say.

The "legality" was never under discussion.....of course it was legal, it still doesn't change the fact that the guys "buddy" pulled a slimy move.
Just because you *can* do something doesn't mean you *should* do it....kinda like that 18 yr. old. (and yes, they have very much in common)

It's called actions and consequences: Piss off the guy holding all the cards, and he'll decide to end the game....

No need for the personal insults/attacks either.

....and then we'd be A-OK...right?

Somebody is dancing along that fine line and may end up in pink again...

That was funny.

I know where you are coming from.....but the fact that you can't wrap your head around the concept doesn't change the fact that you are wrong

If you invited me to spend a couple weeks at your place on the condition...

Brilliant! That was the analogy I was searching for!

If I were hunting on your land, would you mind if I gathered some wood for a fire if I get chilled? No? that's good, because I'm really planning to take a couple log-trucks full of trees.

That isn't the same thing as I own the trees on my property.

I can SORT of see what Joe is saying as he's right, legally the guy could hunt anything on the property once you gave him permission to be there.

As for the guy who shot the deer... it was in poor taste that he did so knowing the OP was after that deer who asked him not to shoot it.

Would I totally ruin the friendship over it, no. My friends (the TRUE friends) and I all had rough patches. We worked through it and now they are the ones that I would trust with my life or the life of my family if it came down to it.

Just simply sit the guy down, tell him your feelings, and tell him next year you are only going to let the kids hunt but for that year he is not allowed. Don't even let him pack a firearm if he wants to escort his daughter and escort him and his daughter when they hunt to make sure he sticks to those rules. Or simply don't let him on the property period.

I don't see a problem with conditions of access right up to the point of where stipulations are put in place as to exactly which deer can be shot.

Nobody is making this into a deer ownership issue. This is a friendship issue.

The point is, he knew what sjemac's wishes were, and he did the opposite. Would have been the same issue if he had left his popcans and lunch wrappers against the landowners wishes.

He's youre friend... you cant let a good friendship go over a deer...

Doesn't sound like the friend gives a #### about the friendship...

Wives are one thing, but it's damn hard to forgive someone shooting your trophy buck......

I gotta agree!!!

I had the exact same thing happen to me as the OP. Still friends, but needless to say, he doesn't hunt with me anymore.

If you invited me to spend a couple weeks at your place on the condition I didn't f**k your 18 yr. old daughter, and then I went ahead and did it anyway, how would that go? I mean...I *could* say that you invited me, and it's legal, and I just "couldn't wrap my head around you not wanting me to screw your daughter...she's an adult, you don't own her"....and then we'd be A-OK...right?

I love you man!!!!


























PS....lemme know how it goes!!
