I've never had a stand stolen, but just yesterday I found the same type of people. My family is the only one that has permission to hunt on our neighbor's land. While walking out yesterday I heard a shotgun go off three times. None of us usea shotgun in this area.I decided to lay low and see what would happen next. Up the hill comes these two losers looking for their deer. I latertracked them and found them gutting out a doe. When I walked up they said they were relieved because they thought I was the owner of the property, and said that they would be in deep S--t if he knew they were there. i told them that they better stay off or ask for permission. I wish I had remembered their backtag #'s, because I know they probably didn't have a doe tag for this area. I've been trying foryears to get one and haven't been able to. Makes me mad to find white trash ruining others huntingby not getting permission and shooting does without a tag. I'm pretty sure they would steal a tree stand if given a chance to.
