He's probably like me. Zero desire to hunt with other people. Figures if he called you, you might want to go too, thereby ruining his hunt. My opinion probably isn't what you want to hear but... you both have permission there. You do your thing and let him do his. It sounds like he doesn't want to hunt with y'all. I have no problem with that. But how would you feel if you were the landowner and allowed hunting under one condition, and then that condition was ignored? Like I said before, landowner has not been notified Is that what happened? Because that's not what your original post said. You said you asked permission to hunt a place you hunted last year, and was told you could, but that someone else was also already hunting there. YOU said ok, you would talk with him and try and coordinate hunts and the farmer says Ok, sure. I doubt the farmer cares if you hunt separately, or together. That's what YOU wanted and the other guy apparently doesn't want the same thing. Why would you think the farmer made it a condition of the other guy hunting with you just because you suggested it? If the farmer told the other guy he was ONLY allowed to hunt if he was hunting with you, then that's an entirely different story. But if he didn't, then I don't think hunting with you is a condition of the other guy hunting there. I guess you think him being there today will scare off your birds tomorrow. I don't know much about waterfowl hunting, but see how your hunt goes tomorrow. It might not even be an issue. But to answer your original question I wouldn't be mad at all. I would chalk it up to it being the landowner's property and if he wants to let half a dozen different people hunt it, he can. Since it's just one lone guy hunting this place, I would just try and work around him.

If you both have permission then I would hunt when I wanted and if other guy shows up invite him to hunt with you
If I was landowner and drama started, both of you would be gone
Another option is to approach landowner about leasing/paying for exclusive hunting rights I know money talks, but leasing it out from under a guy is a pretty douche bag move too. Just business, I see no problem with it.. You can still invite the other guy.

1. He got permission to hunt then you called to get permission again. So you both have permission. Did the farmer ask either of you to not go without the other? That said, it was nice of you to invite him to hunt with you. I don't know why he went the day before you told him you were planning a hunt - and invited him along. If that was his only time available for a while or something - but it would have been nice to communicate that with you. Hopefully you guys can still work it out and the farmer will feel good he gave both of you permission.

Had a goose hunter complain I was trapping a badger hole that I had permission trap in a field, like a 2 minute check in and out if the geese were flying I’d check it later in the day no problem then. The guy never talked to me he just went crying to the landowner so I said sure I’ll pull the trap so I moved it 100 yards to the road ditch ROW. Caught a badger a few days later and I was out of there.
Later that year I had a duck blind behind my house it was a ideal setup freshly flooded cover the neighbor had cut a sweet strip of silage out of before it flooded it was like a landing strip with tall thick cover on each side of it. Basically a shooting gallery for ducks.
People asked to hunt the blind that I knew one was a City Officer that was friends with the goose hunters son had been for a long time. I said sure no problem just his Dad is not welcome I don’t want him around. Karma is a sweet thing.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Sounds like you want it by your rules. I don't see where anyone is wrong. I give it a 1 or 2. No sir, the farmer is the one who asked that we communicate before hunting. That was his one rule. I did not make that rule Communicate, certainly don't mean hunting together. Also maybe 1 or 2 birds are enough for him. You're almost sounding overbearing and pushy. I am a loner and would have turned down your idea of hunting with you. Did he ruin the hunting? Won't new birds migrate through? What kind of birds? I would take sun baked road kill possum over a Canada Goose. Scale my anger a -1
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

The guy did exactly what he told the land owner he intended to do.
No one put you in charge. Your rules suck. If you don't like it hunt somewhere else.

How many geese have you taken from this field. Sounds to me.like you either need to live with it or buy your own property. Maybe the guy is a loner and likes hunting by himself with just his decoys. Maybe he just doesn't like you telling him when and how he should hunt. Maybe be is the one who should be mad?
Wish I had more time to trap....
