Default UUGGGHHHHHH!!!!!! (venting)

So here in upstate New York things are about to kick off this Saturday. I've been hunting a piece now for three years and I am starting to shoot bigger deer and more deer with my time at the place. It's about 60 acres and a great spot when outside properties get pressure. So I get a call today from a man that has gotten permission from the land owners wife. He is going to set up a stand today and wanted to meet me to show me where he wants to hunt and see where I hunt. He has his stand set up before I get there and is proud as a peacock when he wants to show me where he put his stand. On this 60 acres I have 3 stands, 2 of which are in the same tree. This guy walks me past my double set to a tree roughly ten feet past it. I turned around and pointed to the double set and he claims he never saw the stands. So I'm expecting this guy to start taking his set down. Instead he says that we will have to work something out with who hunts when. I was so shocked I coulndt say anything. I kept hinting to him that he should hunt somewhere else and gave him some other ideas. At this point the owner is within earshot and I dont want this to seem like an issue to him and lose therights, so I keep my mouth shut. I then left and drove home and the more I think about it the more pissed I get about the situation. Tomorrow I need to call this guy and tell him my thoughts on the situation and that Id rather not have him hunt that close, even if we have to rotate. I got thinking about it more with the scent control and what not. Then I got to thinking about how this guy must hear from the owners wife about the deer that I have shot from their land and what not. Needless to say after I got home I was so frustrated that I didnt say something right off the bat about him moving. Sorry about the length of the post but I really had to vent. Do you guys think I'm handling this correct? My fear is that the owner stops all hunting. Let me know. Thanks.
