NO NO NO leave it up and continue to hunt.
I have almost the same scenario but with 35 acres and 7 guys.
I been going through this for 6 years now it works out fine.
They will peter out after about a month and give it up. Stay with it pal.
If you need more help with this PM me.

Opening day of bowseason and im sitting in my stand and only hunting a 5 acre peice of woods in the middle of feilds, its about 7:45 and 3 guys in street clothes come walking through the woods. It'smy girlfriends property and the guy said he is her cousin and him and his buddies are going to hunt the property. Since its not my property i cant do anything about it and they want to share the property with me.. ha ha im really pissed im taking my treestanddownand hunting somewhere else. This is the best part they road their fourwheeler through woods and then they asked if i was going to hunt later that day.
It really depends on the individual hunters tolerance for this type of crap. For me, I have little tolerance so I'm not waiting for things to peter out because they may not.If anything, around here, there are more guys in the woods come late October than there are at the beginning of the season.
One thing I've learned over the years is that it is better for me to move to another area if the deer are being pressured by too many guys in too small a space. It sure makes my hunt less aggravating that way because I am in to this to relax and have fun, which for me, can't be done when the woods are crowded.
Your mileage may vary.
