He has permission, same as you. Yes there needs to be some conversations, but a third person has now joined you and your neighbors "agreement", one he didn't participate in. Time for a new agreement to be discussed.
As for age: I'm 50.
I understand and agree with your points, however look at it like this. You pull into a self serve rustic campground with three camp sites, two being on a lake and the other tucked away in the woods across the drive. The two sites on the lake are already occupied by other campers. Along comes a new camper and sets up smack dab between the two occupied camp sites crowding everyone's set up.
Would you set up your tent between these sites or take the unoccupied site?
That's what I'm referring to when I say common courtesy.
The land and deer traffic was fully explained to this guy yet he chose to set his stand nearly in a known bedding area, and up wind to boot.
Now we have people using our stands without permission, not sure if it's the other hunter or outsiders. Time to find a new spot I guess.
