Happened to me a few years back. I rented an old farm house on 110 acres and had permission to hunt it and have a friend or 2 on the land also. I invited a friend I've know since grade school to hunt and after he leard what kind of deer it held he had his brothr and father in-law there hunting. Next thing I know there 4 guys back there. Itruined the area for years. Too much pressure shut them deer down and they turned completely nocturnal. I haven't hunted there in years, but I'mm gonna ask to get back in there next season. All those guys are no longer hunting there so it should be good again.
