I guess I didn't understand that this post was not as serious as I first read....Soooo Please don't take me to task for my comments...Here's what I originally wrote:

You're trying to keep you Dad, uncle and friend out of your treestand...You gottabekidding? If I were you, I would consider mysef lucky just to have the opportunity to hunt with your Dad. And yes, it sounds kinda selfish. That being said, I don't understand why a simple request would not do the trick. Why would your Dad, uncle and friend use your stand if you asked them not. If anyone in my camp (sons, friends etc) asked to have their treestand left alone, that's all it would take...
