[:@] Ok I have a gripe and need to know if I am right or wrong in my fellow bowhunters opinion!

Just got back from a 5 day hunt with my dad. We were on hot central IL PUBLIC LAND, run by the DNR. The problem is that every field edge, every Draw, every bottleneck, every swamp <ya see where I am going> had a freakin Treestand in it. My "nobody will find this spot" has a treestand in "my" tree. I carried 50+ lbs on my back 1/2 the hunt because every new spot I tried had a stand in it. Of course ALL of these stands were empty, which led me to believe that these were SHOTGUNNER's or in-frequent Bowhunters setting up, and leaving them there. Dont get me wrong, i hunt with both Shotgun and Bow and if a guy beats me to a spot, thats his spot! But for hunters to go out on public land and just set up a ton of stands and LEAVE them PI$#%es me OFF! Do I have a right to be this way?

let me know,
Squeegee
