I know a few guys that were doing some post season scouting when they came on this ladder stand. cigarette buds all over the place, and it was on hunt club land. so, what did they do? left him a note about NOT smoking and littering, and then disassembled his stand and put the pieces in a circle around the stand. In trees, on the ground, you name it. nothing the guy couldn't find, but I bet he thinks twice about leaving a stand up and or smoking in it while hunting.
