RE: Tree Stand Ethics
I always refer back to ( Do Unto Others AS You Would Have Them Do Unto You ). How would you feel if you went to the trouble of scouting the area and setting up a stand and leaving the area scent free only to come to it on your hunting day only to find someone else sitting in it, and you have no idea weather they used scent control and stunk up your area etc.I feel the same curtosy should apply wether it is private land or public land.There is also the issue of safety. I had a young man attempting to go up a tree with his climber last year within 30 yards from me and it was a straight clear shot from my seat to where he would of put his seat. God forbid one of us would of had a arrow go astry and one of us could of really gotten hurt or died.I prefer to find a secluded spot that is just nature and me.
