I had a climber stolen a couple years ago on public hunting ground. I have over a 1/2 mile walk to my spot. I left in the woods because it was a steel tree stand that was heavy. It didn't bother me that it was stolen, it was the most uncomfortable stand I ever sat in. I had planned on taking it to the dump at the end of the season anyway. Saved me the trouble from taking it out of the woods. However took my stand is probably kicking himself in the butt. "This stand is a P.O.S.!!!"
