Guys,
Take a look at this agreement that I've typed up and let me know what I should consider adding, removing, or changing.
Long story short - this is for a 50 acre family property, I've been told before by the property owner (immediate family)before that they want me to have first dibs on any hunting there, but I've never felt the need to get it in writing. Other distant relatives and family friends have hunted it but never more than 1 at a time, they'd never really done anything egregious until this morning when I found out they've dumped corn out in a field by my best stand. I've had it and am ready to see if they truly want me to have sole hunting privileges.
Hunting Rights & Permissions Agreement
I, _______________________, the Landowner, do hereby give sole hunting permission and rights to _______________________, the Hunter, on my property located at XXXXXXXXX for this date of _________________ and for all future hunting dates/seasons as outlined in the hunting laws and regulations set forth by the State of Alabama and the Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries.
The Landowner grants to the Hunter named above the following rights and permissions:
 To place or construct any blinds, stands, feeders, game cameras, or other hunting related equipment wherever desired on the property
 To remove or relocate any previously installed blinds, stands, feeders, game cameras, or other hunting related equipment subsequent to notification provided to the propertys rightful owner and an agreed upon date for removal of said items by the Landowner and the propertys rightful owner
 To invite 1 guest to hunt per hunting trip at the Hunters discretion.
 To receive notification of and the authority to approve/deny requests made by persons, not belonging to the immediate family of the Landowner, to use the Landowners property for any non-hunting related recreational activities during the dates of Small Game and Deer Hunting Seasons as set forth by the Alabama Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries.
The Hunter and any Guests agree to and are responsible for the following:
 Conducting themselves as an ethical hunter in the true sense of the word
 Not committing any act of vandalism of the Landowners property
 Reporting all such acts observed to the Landowner
 I will not hold the landowner responsible for any accidents while hunting on the property
 I will obey all Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries laws and regulations and will report violations to the landowner or proper authorities

Your ethics and someone else's ethics may not jibe. So that IMO doesn't hold water.
Somewhere I would use "exclusive" to mean it's set only for you. Not you and family members, Uncle Johnny's second cousin's friend up the road, etc.
Also, the corn sounds intentional. Anyone who does that knows what they're doing.

I will edit to include the exclusive word.
I agree about the corn, pretty pissed off.

You and the other free hunters are in no position to make these kind of stipulations. If you want exclusive hunting rights, then make a generous offer to lease it outright. Writing a $500-1000 check could solve all the issues.

Writing a $500-1000 check could solve all the issues. Weve offered to pay for rights or lease it but the owner doesnt want us to have to do that. The situation with the corn has ended this other hunters priveleges I do believe.

This sounds good if you were signing a lease and paying the landowner for hunting rights. To me it seems that all you need is a written permission slip to let you hunt on the land.
My experience when someone won't take money for a lease is that they don't want to be in a position to tell another family member or close friend that they can no longer hunt because the land is leased. Not saying this is the issue in your case, but the land owner doesn't sound like he's wanting to give anyone exclusive rights. He doesn't want to take any money because then he can't let other family or friends hunt if he gives you exclusive rights. Nothing creates strife in a family like family land hunting rights. It can get ugly. I've seen it.
Hopefully you will work it out but know this, unless you yourself own the land outright, this will be an issue and all good things like this end sometime. Until then, enjoy the free hunting.

Dr. B Agree x2 I hunt someones family land also.... I have a written permit to hunt there each season, there is one of there family members that may hunt there once or twice a year... I just try not to let it bother me, its their land and Im a guest in my opinion...
