But now that the OP didn't get to harvest the buck, it was always on the list. I think this is definitely a case of hunter envy.

I don’t want to be that lease manager that changed the rules for one guy what do I do we did talk about this buck maybe going on the list because we thought he was 5.5 but never made that clear with all the members the member made a decision on his own and said he is definitely 5.5 and shot the buck without telling the rest of us .. and other members are mad including myself because they thought he was on the no kill list !!

This sounds oddly familiar.
The other buck he shot was within lease rules. The whole "and on top of that he already shot a nice buck" doesn't fit anywhere with your argument so forget about that.
Now onto the "trophy" deer. Your rules state that hunters can shoot 5.5 and older deer. You also have a no shoot list. Is the no shoot list for all age of deer or only for deer that y'all determine are less than 5.5? If any age buck can make the no shoot list and he shot a buck on the no shoot list then it shouldn't matter the age and he should be dealt with.
I see three options.
1. remove him from the lease
2. keep him but tell him hes not allowed a trophy next year (since he wasn't forthcoming about shooting the buck I wouldn't personally go this route)
3. do nothing
Regardless of which you choose, you as the lease manager, have to be a better communicator. If your communication with your lease mates is anything like your communication on this thread then I can understand where the waters get muddied. Also in all future communications with your lease members drop all the !!!!! if you want them to view you as a grown man and not a teeny bopper.
