thats sucks...

like I'm sure everyone else has, I've lost a few stands over the years too...

wehad a problem a while back with losing afew back on my parents property, at the time there was a shady guy that lived right down the road that I'm almost positive was sneaking around back there and took them, but theres no way to prove it, theres also a field that borders their property that gets leased out to a farmer for crops and both of my stands that disappearedwere right on the edge of that field so I guess its not impossible that he(or someone working for him)didnt take those ones, but either way it sucks walking back to your stand and finding it gone, especially if you paid a decent amount of money for it


with all the nice stands I've run into in the woods I'd be lying if I said it wasnt tempting to snag one, especially during gun season and with all the out of townyahoo's we get around here,butstill, its something I've never done, unless I found it on my property I just wouldnt feel right taking someone elses tree stand knowing the effort and excitement someones put into their hunting with putting a stand in that particular spot, especially during bow season where its more than likely a local guy(or kid)just trying to enjoy his sport, I'd also hope a fellow hunter wouldnt take mine either, but unfortunately, they do...
