On public land . . .
some states allows it for a specific time.
My theory on all kind of land is.....leave it all alone and it could be gone when you return. Heard of a fellow that chained his stand to a tree. When he returned a poacher had been there. Had cut the tree down, apparently with a chain saw. And the chain saw and tree stand were not in sight. Just the cut down tree. I may not like it, but I take those poachers seriously.
The climbing tree stand comes in and leaves the woods with me. That's my theory.
