Well I guess to sum it up for me is should I just let go of the notion that it is "my" spot. I was hunting like 8 years before him and then invited him down there. When the landowner asked me who hunts I put him on the list. Me, my kids and him. He has been down there 12-13 years now. Thats what I am getting at I guess. After this long is it still the same as day 1 when I invited him there?

Wow...that paints a different picture. I think you're sh*t out of luck and it's fair game now, especially after 10+years of him hunting there. That would make you look like a pretty big a**hole. It's been to long to change now in my opinion.

It's my belief if your invited to anothers spot, camp or lands you should always be considered a guest. Which means no ownership(even if the land or lease isn't in your name). The opportunity to hunt someone else spot is a priv. not a right and should always be treated that way. This goes for long standing permissions you may have with the legal landowner.
I know full well know your position... done it. In my opinion you need to set the fella straight. If nothing is said your friendship will become strained. If a true friend he will understand. If not...unfortunately he isn't the friend he once was! Crappy situation, I feel your pain and wish you all the best....again been their done that.

I believe it is. Him approaching the landowner is not cool IMO.
He was right to ask you, not the landowner, about bringing someone else. But, I think you have every right to say NO.
