UPDATE……..BOOM!!!Best way to approach neighbor

What if he approaches you and asks the same thing?

Don’t shoot him so I can?

That’s not a very good strategy. Seems like all you will accomplish is letting him know there’s a good deer he should be hunting. Keep hunting and hope for the best is my advice.

First one to get the deer wins

You better shoot him yesterday.

have a deer I’ve been feeding and getting pictures of since July. He’s now moved to the opposite of my property that borders my neighbors ground. What’s the best way to approach him asking him not to shoot him bc that’s my one target buck for the year? Thanks for any input and advice.

I’d feel better about talking to the neighbor on a deer I was passing than one I’m wanting to shoot.

“have a deer I’ve been feeding and getting pictures of since July.”

I love running cameras, but the thought that since you got a picture you have ownership of a wild animal is ridiculous. There’s a fair chance that all of your feeding and camera checking is what ran him off.

This.

Talking to your neighbor to help manage and prevent shooting young bucks is a great idea. But once they become “shooters” it should be fair game.

You might talk to him and find out he’s already seen the buck and planning on waiting another year. But you can bet if he sees him again after you say you want to shoot him, he’s probably not going to pass

You’re and idiot

Thanks for fattening him up for me.
