I do have a problem with stand left on public land and I'll tell you why!! In most spots in my area are small wood lots and the larger state owned areas. Now these few guys who are our area slob hunters put up stands all over the place. They spend all of their off season doing this and I am talking about hundreds of stands over the years. Now along comes Joe average ethical hunter and sees these stands he will not hunt anywhere near another hunters stand just out of respect. But now tell me these guys who have put up these stands may never even hunt out of them that year or multiple years! But if you go anywhere near them you r a bumm and a ****** for going near their stands. These same people spend a lot of time hunting my truck during the season so they can find me and hunt my areas as I will have nothing to do with them or any of the areas they ruin. Once in the area (remember these are little wood lots) they won't wit still they urinate where ever they are hack spit weeze and what ever. I have now decided that any new place I find and they move into I will destroy any stand they put up. I am at my wits end with these guys and I don't know what else to do. I shot a real nice trophy deer this year and the next day they were all over the area now no one hunted this spot before and you can best be sure its ruined now. And by the way these guys rarly shoot a deer and when they do is always small buck and doe. So what would you do. I'll get off my soap box now.
