Default I NEED advice

Ok men and women i NEED advice in the worst way. Ok so I am an avid deer hunter but don't have much land to hunt. The land I have rights to hunt is only a 3 acre plot of timber surrounded by ag fields with bigger sets of timber around. This spot is my grandparents and I used to be the only one who hunted it. My spot is really good because it is used as a bedding, traveling spot, and food plot for deer. I have always seen big big deer. Well when I was in highschool I had a friend who wanted to hunt around our area because his spot to hunt which is an even better spot to hunt is several hours away. Well his mom asked my mom if he could hunt with me and I was brought up in a good family and couldnt say no. He was a year younger than me and so when I graduated I went off to college and one day he asked if he could go out there. Well I didnt want him to at all. but like I said I was brought up in a good family so I couldnt just say no. So I just took a deep breath and said I guess. It didnt matter because he is the type of person that if I said no he would of went and asked my grandpa who would have said yes. anyway he was good about it he always called me before he would go out and after to report. Then the next year I was out of town and he went out without calling and shot a deer that I had my eye on all season out of my stand and called to brag. He knew I was mad but like always I didnt say much of anything. Now he doesnt even go to his spot anymore except for shotgun season. now 3 years later I have had enough and so I told him one day in a nice way that I thought the woods were "burnt" and that I was shuting them down for a few weeks. So he didnt hunt. I went out and hunted one day and didnt see much Corn was up. And he found out. Well My dad told me that he was going to shell the corn all around the stand this monday but I live an hour away now. So the corn is out and today I get a call from my "friend" and he told me he saw 43 and had a giant walk under MY stand and he missed it, shot over its back. I never gave him permission to go out or gave the ok to open up the woods. I never got a call asking if he could go out again. I am the only other person that hunts this spot and it is my only spot and it really erks me that the woods are prolly burnt again. So here is my delima. Other than deer season I get along with him and he is a great friend one of my few. But during deer season I absolutly hate him. I dont want to lose him as a friend by telling him to stop hunting and I actually think if I tell him to stop hunting he will go around me and ask my grandpa to hunt and my grandpa is too nice of a man to say no. So any ideas on what to do. Sorry this is so long thanks for helping.
