Take it home!!!!!!

BTW, what's the ethical question? Should you let your friends know about your new stash?[8D]

I don't think I can just not say anything to anyone - if the owner finds it he might suspect we planted it there. If you know what it looks like its not hard to see it. I doubt its his, he is over 70 years old, so if it is his he probably uses it for health reasons and doesn't deal. He's pretty wealthy so I doubt he needs to sell it for money. I think we'll let him know we found it and reassure him that whatever is on his property is his business and we are just happy for the opportunity to hunt his land. I'm not just up and walking away from this hunting land. Its excellent deer land and its the ONLY piece of private land we have to deer hunt.

Alright well where I am from in north central nebraska it grows wild and you see it all the time, I dont think I would worry about it its probly just wild stuff and no one has stumbled upon it yet, we always chop it down, or get it with the old mower tractor to try and get rid of it, boy will you have a head ache after that.

Pick it, dry it, and keep it for yourself.

Im surprised the deer havent eaten it. If its a bother, id pull it up. If a person planted it, what are they going to do, confront you?

If the land is really good and you're worried about losing it over this dilema I'd move my stand and pretend I never saw it [8D][8D].

If it's a dime a dozen type of piece then I'd tell the landowner. Chances are if it was his, he wouldn't grant you permission in the first place to hunt where he was growing pot.

I would be inclined to let the land owner know what you found. Without pointing fingers, and tell him that youjust wanted to make him aware, and that you would let him deal with it.

PM me the address and I will make it go bye bye for you.... i'll be able to buy myself that new hoyt bow I always wanted!!!!!!!!!

my GRANDFATHER called me one day to come over and see what he had in the garden.... Turned out during turkey season a few years back he stumbled upon someone's pot garden in the woods. He actually took one of the plants home with half of it sticking out of the window going down the road!!!!!!!! He told my grandmother it was a nut tree LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is no joke. it grew to about 6' tall in the garden before my cousin cut it down and did whatever with it. but that is besides the point

I personally don't see where the dilemma part comes into play here.
There are 2 things here from where your decision should come from.
1) Is it right? (legal)
2) Is it wrong? (illegal)

Too often people try to place shades of gray into the situation. If you saw it there I think it would be your responsibility to tell the landowner. He is allowing you to hunt his property and with that you have certain responsibilities to him for his kindness. You would be doing him a favor by letting him know about it. After all, when all is said and done........He is the one who is ultimately responsible for it being on his property.....guilty or not.

Tell him regardless of how it is going to serve your interests.

I would pull every plant up and leave it for dead and/or,I would burn it, but from what I've read that could have some adverse effects on you if your down wind
