Police told him he cant take the stand like that even though the guy was trespassing. Now this was a few years ago, unless laws have changed, IMO, don't take it home. Just take it down and the salt lick, and put a note on it telling him he is going to get arrested if he finds him on there again. I'm just putting out some friendly advice because I had a friend that had the same problem. By leaving the stand torn down and left at the tree, you avoid any potential altercations.

In Indiana if a landowner has a trespasser leaves a stand on his property then the landowner can do whatever they want to do with it. It is considered the landowners property now not the trespassers. Sorry about the trespassers luck but in Indiana trespassing is a big NO - No.
