I was so ticked off about it when I called my buddies. We came up with the idea to drop off some roofing nails at the end of his driveway. A couple of tires would be more than the cost of my hang-on stand. It was only about $50. I don't think I can really bring myself to do anything. I figure if he is willing to steal my stand, what would stop him from lying to me about it. It is just the fact that it ruined my plans with my son. We have been having some problems lately. I will work something out. I think a 3-sided homemade ground blind will do the trick. I have already gotten a deer this year and the time spent with and reconnecting with my son is worth more than any deer.
I typed up a note, put it in a plastic zip lock bag, and tacked it to the tree my stand was stolen from.
It said something to the effect of:
Thieves, I had 6 trail cameras around these fields and woods.
I have pictures of you stealing my treestand.
I expect it back on this tree next weekend or I turn the pictures over to the police.
I went back last weekend and no stand.
Maybe they haven't been by my spot or are calling my bluff.
Its worth a shot anyways...
