trouble with other hunters
Got a troublesome question for you guys, i am hunting an area that is open to the public, providing you buy a permit and attend their briefing. opening morning i hunted out of my climber, didnt see anyhting thanks to a truck driving illegally thru the area. that afternoon i decided to move to my ladderstand in a different area. problem was my stand was missing when i got there. its almost a 2 mile walk to my stand.but i seen a guy sitting not 40 yds from my tree in a climber. his tracks everywhere in there, noone elses. went back the next morning to find him there again this time i looked for my stand and found it, completely disassembled and hidden in the shrubs. the guy had left the area before i found it, i reinstalled it and set it back up on my tree. im headed back o ut there this evening, any suggestions on what to do before we have any problems over this? i already notified the local rangers to this but they didnt seem to worried about it. i really hate unethical rude and ignorant people.
