My question is, how good of friends are they? I'd be honest andgive them an ultimatum....tell them the landowner is pissed at their lack of accountability, and he feels like they are moochers. Make em feel a little pain this year, like NO HUNTING the first week or whatever - something. Maybe it will help, and if it doesn't....bye bye. Whatever you decide, don't let THEMend up affectingYOU andyour situation with the landowner. Honestly....I've disassociated myself with the slackers over the years, I don't have time for it. Thats in all areas of life, business, hunting, sports, whatever. Everyone should be willing to pull their weight. Good luck, sorry to hear you're in that spot.
