A point to this conversation that usually isn't talked about is this-
It's always "that guy" who you really don't want sharing your stands. Not sure if that makes sense....you know what I mean?
In all the situations I've personally been in like that, I've never had another one of the "good" hunters want to share my places, nor would I have cared though if THEY did. For me it was always that guy who was a lazy hunter, never scouted, probably didn't even show up for work days, then shows up on opening day of gun season and climbs in your ladder/house, with the wrong wind (which is why you weren't in it to start with). LOL Most of us were somewhat private with our spots to start with...you might have known my truck was parked at such-n-such gate, but you didn't really know I walked with my climber into that cluster of white oaks off the back side of that cutover a mile down the roadbed. Only a few of us even knew that spot was there, and even fewer would work that hard to hunt it. But if there's a shooting house on the powerline, you can bet yo fanny every one of "those guys" were always hunting it.
I don't think it's as much about YOU as it is them. If YOU built a shooting house on our club--literally it was YOUR labor and money, not "club" labor and money--then I would probably never hunt out of it unless we were tighter than usual buddies and/or you had expressly insisted that I hunt it. But many fellas don't see it that way. I'm not in a club, the only other person that hunts our property is my brother so I have never really had to deal with these problems but this is the way my mind works as well. Good point.

If its a club, then I can only assume it is first come first serve. We allow the builder or owner of a stand first rights on opening day but after that it is open to anyone in the club. We also ask that all members erect two stands of some type in order to be allowed to hunt from other stands. If someone decides they don't want to put up two stands then they are not allowed access to any of the other permanent type stands, such as shooting houses, ladder stands etc.

Building,hanging stands,cutting shooting lanes,ect is a lot of work.I don't mind someone hunting my stands as long as they put in a little work and hang some so it works both ways.There is always going to be"that guy" that doesn't do anything all summer/preseason and then promptly parks their fat ass in a stand that I worked very hard to get just right,sometimes even trimming limbs that I purposely left for cover. Shooting houses,tripods I don't really have a problem with those being club stands.Have built several for the club and rarely hunt out of them.

"Friend" is a loosely used term.

Handle things face to face. If you are unable to do this, you might be in the wrong club.

Ok guys, let me clear some things up. The lease is in my name and i'm not upset at all. He will never hunt the stand without asking, i'm sure. I thought the lock would be too much, thats why i asked for other opinions. My only issue was that he only had the one stand up, which doesn't meet the guidelines of the club rules to share stands. On our club, if you buy it or build it, well then its yours and people have to ask permission to use it, which i think is fair. BTW, i've never turned down anyone asking to hunt one of my stands.

A lot of folks have said something like, "Just be honest, have open conversation about it." Come on y'all, that's awkward as crap and frankly it would make you the @$$hole of the hunting club (I promise you it won't come off as innocent as you think). I wouldn't want the other guys to know I didn't really want them in "my" shooting house (more than likely, most people will say if you build a shooting house or hang a stand on the club, it ain't "yours"). In my experience, most people in hunting clubs have a much bigger problem with the "I lock my shooting house" guy than they do the "I'm lazy and want to hunt your shooting house" guy.
Also, I don't want to be in a club that has a dozen rules about stands and stuff either (that's some weird rules about "you have to build or put up stands in order to use somebody else's"). There's really only two good solutions: Either understand and be happy that every stand is everybody's stand, or don't get in a club (which is what I ultimately had to be honest with myself about).
