Had a stand all set up a few years back for archery .
Got permissinon from the land owner and set it up abought a week before season started .
Pulled in on the edge of the road opening day to find a youg male in his early 20,s comming out of the woods with MY STAND on his back .
I walked over to him and said what the hell are you doing ????
He was the land owners son and claimed he had found it out of the blue while hiking ??
LOL....This guy still lived with his parents and he said he new nothing abought me having permission to hunt .What a little weazlle.
I,m just lucky I went when I did , if I woundnt have gotten off work early I would have never caught him.
ANYONE WHO STEALS A HUNTERS TREE STAND ,CAMERA , DECOY or anyhting of the soarts is more than just a THIEF,
They are not a true member of our hunting tradition .
Not only do they steal our stands they Steal our oportunity to Hunt ...
If I every see someone stealing mine on my now owned property they will be prosicuted to the MAX ..
Hope they also go to our local County Jail , I ,ll keep the lite on ..LOL.........................
