You need to have a good sit down talk with friend #1. If he's any kind of a hunter he will understand. It's your spot, give them all the boot. It might be to late now and it's only going to get worse. I'm from Chewelah and been on the west side for 4 1/2 years now and everyone over here wants me to set them with hunting over there, but I don't, just because of what you are going through. I've hunted elk up in the NE corner since the 70's and if you are into elk up there you NEED to keep it to yourself.
