I just talked to my Dad about it. Of course he wants my friend to go. Says that is way more important since he hasnt been deer hunting or ever taken a deer. Dad said to put him in his spot and since Dad knows the land he will go in to some spot he thought of with his climbing stand. I know without a doubt that my friend would understand if I didnt take him this weekend. I am positive he is a true friend, we have served side by side on the most dangerous roads in Iraq and grew up together from age 0. We have definitely had our tests of friendship, because I have outranked him for some time in the military and had to boss him around some LOL Im figuring on trying to take him out Thursday and show him alot of public land areas that he can go to on his own, see if maybe that will get out there learning. I hate for Dad to not go to the spot we planned on though. Even though I know he could care less if he ever kills another deer.

Dad said to put him in his spot
In my book, that's one more reason to keep this weekend special for your dad and yourself.
Fathers won't always be around; you need to be selfish when it comes to spending special time with them, because you never know when your father will be gone. I speak from experience.
Your friend will understand.

I have been on the other end of this situation and it is always best to clear the air as soon as there is some misunderstanding. I am sure he will understand but I would tell him today. I had a buddy in Nashville that let me hunt with him but he would call me half the time the night before we are suppose to hunt and change plans. He was letting me hunt on some good property but I will admit it was a bit disappointing when you work yourself up to go on a hunt and then find out at the last minute that it was not going to happen. thank goodness for all the WMA's

I don't think you'll have any issue. You are willing to take him and teach him. You are willing to potentially offer up your deer. I would think if he's a good friend, you can start with "bro, we have to talk about this weekend."

By the way Steven, my daughter is available now. You know of any hotspots around your area that I can put a tag on a big buck.

Steve,
Since you're asking for advice, I think you already know deep down the right answer, and what you really want. If it were me ,I would tell your friend that you already have plans for the weekend. My dad would definitely come first. It's good of you to help a friend get into hunting, but some hunters don't realize how much time and money goes into a privately owned property. And, if your friend is going to hunt regularly on your land, you might consider asking him to help with the labor. I have let several people hunt on my land that promised to help with food plots, tree cutting and such. But, when I was ready to work, seems like they always had other plans. Nothing thins out the so called friends from the real ones faster than hard work.
