I realize I've been very lucky. I put 10-12 stands out a year and these two are the first ones I've lost. this spot is close to some private but unposted ground that gets a number of boneheads hunting on it. Rest assured that I will have something special planned for that spot next year.

I'm liking the cheap trail cam idea. That could work if it's hidden well and placed somewhere that it'd be hard to get toeven if it gets spotted.

I think I'll also start stamping "stolen from" and my name in em!
