RE: How would you guy’s handle this.
"That kind of pissed 1 guy off because he had plans to hunt 1 weekend that I'm not going"
That is enough for me to tell them what I think about their lack of help. If your paying the lease bill or taxes either one on a property and can get the work done on your own, move on and let them find their own property to hunt. For them to somehow feel entitled to hunt would not set well with me, unless they are investing something into the opportunity. I can't imagine any of my real friends not being willing to help with summer chores when they knew I was allowing them to hunt. My actual friends would be there before me. I can think of several people that I know who would expect to hunt without any investment, but I wouldn't call them friends and I wouldn't invite them to hunt.
Unless there are other circumstances that we couldn't possibly understand over an internet forum, I'd tell them to take a hike.
