RE: Heading out for the evening hunt!!!
I feel for you dude. When you put a stand back out, put a wildlife camera on it well concealed. Then if it happens again, all you have to do is hand the photos over to law enforcement instead of getting into trouble with the law yourself. Also go buy an engraver and mark your stands. I'm sure the cops could get a search warrant if photos are provided and the more of your stuff the cops find, the worse trouble the scum are in.
