This is the second time some scumbag... lowlife... snake in the grass... thievingjerk robbed me of another ladder stand. The first time was just after gun season ended in 2006. I had shot an 8 pt off this stand set up in a corner of a field on the last Sat of the season. I came back the following Sat for muzzle load and some lowlife stole the 3 sections of ladder and left the seat section. It was padlocked on with a cable and lock.

I put a new one up in the spring of 2007 in the same spot. This time I bolted the sections together and then padlocked with the same cable to the tree. I used it all last season and even check it out last Sat afternoon. I went up tomight to spot some deer and check on some mock scrapes and it was gone. This time the whole thing.

If it wasn't such a good spot I'd say screw-it... but it is a good spot. So I'm gonna use log chain and a heavy padlock and try again. I bought another 15' Gander Stand. I only buy the $60 stands because of these lowlife... snake in the grass... SOBitchin scumbags's..

This time I plan to inscribe with a dremel tool, my name on a rung at the 5' level with my phone number. Maybe this will deter them. I'm convinced itis the same lowlife... you what again. I plan to do the same inscription on all 8 ladder stands.

Any other thoughts? Oh yeah this is on private and I have permission to hunt.
