Jeesh, if I can find them and don't even know what I'm looking for, just imagine what someone with even a little to gain is gonna find. Don't worry I left them where I found them. I've had my tools jacked from my work truck before. I wouldn't do that to anyone.
Not everyone leaves "Nice little flags" as a trail to their stand. I know where every stand is on my place and dont have one flag to mark them.
I had 1 stand stolen off some family property that was really deep in there, but have also found 3 stands on my place that I took down and kept so I feel even about it.
