jrsb...I have...Once, on the Uwharrie tract that you hunt in...It was about 10-12 years ago, a nice API Baby Grand...had it locked up over a clover patch 2 days before archery season...Cable was cut, I never used a lock on type stand again...I now use 2 climbers and carry them in and out.

I also had a feeder stolen...Once...down near Piscah covered bridge...there is a guy down there notorious for stealing...I found where he went in with his 4-wheeler and even tracked him home...I checked on him for 3 years, finally went by one Sunday and he had my feeder beside his storage shed...I got my video camera and took footage, took this to the sherrif's dept and showed it to them...I had changed the timer and this helped me identify it...They picked it up, so I got it back....They took him to court, he came up with a receipt from a pawn shop up near Winston...Said he bought it there....Imagine that, feeder was found 1/2 a mile from where I hunt, went to Winston and back to Piscah...He got off, but had to at least pay a lawyer for his defense....I couldn't believe the judge bought his story....
