I haven't seen anything about leaving stands up in the MA abstracts other than in a few Wildlife Management Areas. Anyone know what the regs are. Some land is state some is owned by various Conservation groups near me? I've seen many stands up this spring most recently put up and locked with steps removed from the trees. The only thing I've seen in the rules is no permanent stand ie wood and spikes or screws. Talked with a few people who are putting up stands this month for the fall.
