If I found aloc onstand that I was absolutely sure was on public land, and it was the "off season", I would take it. Anyone leaving a stand out there should have no reasonable expectation of it staying there anyway. It is illegal and stupid. I would never take a stand during the season, but might report it. More often the stands you find in these situations are crappy homemade ones, not worth taking anyway.
