I appreciate it. Trying to talk my buddy into hunting his property. He duck hunts there but said he didn't know if there was deer there.
Ask him if you can do a little walking around, checking for sign. Don't make it a big deal if you find tracks. If he imbibes, get him a bottle or two, and ask him if you can put up a feeder. If he's a good buddy, he'll be all over this. You may convert a duck hunter to a deer hunter.
