Man I keep hearing about this stuff and it really must take the fun out of hunting for you guys. Next thing he will be stealing your stands, flattening tires on truck, etc. What a joke. Do you have any public land in your area to hunt? If you do, walk in farther than the average joe to get away from this crap. You have too many other stresses in life to deal with to have to deal withstress in your hobby.

Does this guy have any reasoning to where you could talk him into working as a team. I know your first thought is forget that, but think about this...He could hunt one side of the property and you could hunt the other. Sounds like he is trying to compete with you. He's probably tired of hearing all the talk of your past success and he wants a taste of it.Best way to nip that in the butt is to make him a team member and put him to work.Use him to your advantage. You know the property better than he does, you know where the deer run to when they are spooked, you know what the nautural wind directions are, etc. Take all that info and use it to your advantage and keep a smile on your face. You don't have to be best friends with this guy, but trying to resolve this issue in another way may be more beneficial in the long run. You don't want to be sitting up in your tree stand all day filled with hate woundering what he will do to you next. That will not make hunting fun.Ifhe won't leave,I say make him a team mate. One that will assist you without him really knowing that. I find that everything in life is a test and once we get past the difficult part you would be amazed at what good could come from it. Once agianour natural insticts are not the best (I'm still learning this). Fightyour first instict that is based off of angerand get to the good that will come. All of us crave camaraderie, this could be the person you receive it from.
