I went out on Saturday and put a bag of minerals, a brand new 20 ft ladder stand and a new moultrie. I always chain my ladders, and even had a smaller chain linked to my camera box.

I went back today to check my camera and sit for a spell this morning and all was gone! I first thought I was lost, and trekked for an hour, but the tree had the scrapes of the ladder stand, and my ribbon markers that marked the trail from the field were all gone as well.

I can only tell you that when, and if I find the stuff...someone is not going to be well enough to hunt this year. At least not able to walk, hold a gun, much less pull a bow back.

I have neighbors on the look out...wish me luck!
