MA,

Look up a post I made a while back called "Permanent Stands on NJ WMA's"

Public land is for everyone's enjoyment. If it is legal to hang a stand and leave it on public ground in your state, go right ahead. I would never sit in someone else's stand, but once its placed on public land its LEGAL for ANYONE to sit in it. This of course will cause problems if the person whom put it up comes along. You can see from some post here, that some would be pretty quick to try and cause you bodly harm. A deer isnt worth that to me.

Since you were looking to hang a stand, you probably won't agree with me, but I feel carry in, carry out, should be the only tree stand method allowed on any public land. I guess I should move to WI.

Like I said, see if you can find the thread I mentioned above,,,, you think there are fireworks going off here?!?!?!?!

Best of Luck to you!

Any day spent huntin, is better than any day spent workin,,
