Had a very similar problem on my wife’s family land. Simple version:
1) FIL felt he should be able to use the cabin when hunters were not there and at times dictate when they could be based on him wanting to use the cabin.
2) Family friend that had the cattle lease felt that he could do whatever he wanted on the ranch regardless of hunters OR OWNERS.
3) FIL felt that cattle friend and family could hunt whenever they wanted.
Did I mention that the hunting brought in about $1500 more per year than the cattle lease and the hunters took better care of the land.
I stayed out of this mess until FIL passed away. Then the following action was taken:
1) We included the exclusive use of the cabin to the 4 hunters for an additional $4800($400 month) - all utilities and maintenance included. They and their families were welcome anytime and they were very considerate of this arrangement.
2) The “cattle guy” was thrown off as soon as his lease expired. Nothing ****** me off more than him acting like he was the landowner and my FIL letting it happen (longtime friend).
3) Set aside a 120+ acre pasture that was for the exclusive use of family hunting. The remaining 700 acres was exclusively for the hunters.
This worked great with no problems and everyone happy. Their kids grew up and a couple of them moved out of state so the remaining g guys gave it up. With a growing family ourselves we decide to no longer lease the hunting rights and use it exclusively for the family.
Just my 0.2.

Agree on locking stands. Would keep any trail camera pics of family in your spots to justify not paying any money owed.
I'm sure phones have been buzzing. To the OP best of luck in your situation.

If she has time PM me. I'd love to have her make some. Good luck on finding another lease by the way. I hope it all works out.
