How about this for an update:

My son knows the two boys that live behind us (Only 3 house in about 20 acres). I told him what happened....and that I SPECIFICALLY suspected one of the two boys that are friends of his (they're 19 and 24). I told him to tell them I would be willing to not go to the authorities (I know, I know....but it sounds scary to a kid) if they'd come clean with anything they knew.

Nobody came clean......but my stand is back in place, this morning.

We now have a family dilemma that we'll sort out. The boys didn't know we had permission to hunt the land adjacent to both our properties (part of the landowner's request)....so they didn't know it was our stand. That doesn't make it right (lesson I'm trying to teach to my son, right now).....but it makes it more palatable in HIS eyes.

We'll see where this leads........
