Hey Planter, that's a good point about people leaving stands up on public land.[:@] If I see one that's been left in the woods and it's not occupied, in an area I want to hunt, I just hunt there. That's their tuff s%&t! That's the way it goes.Sometimes in this one State Park I hunt, rangers will remove stands that have been left and the owner must go to the office to claim them, facinga possible fine.
