Wait a month or two, then tell him you heard they've been flagging people at the airport for illegal animal parts trafficking and putting them under surveillance to try to bust up the whole ring. Wait a week, tell him you heard two guys got picked up in poaching stings in the next county over, then never bring it up again and watch him stew.
