Well I' m gonna play Devils advocate here. I once hunted with a guy (on his place), that cut down every stand he found on his property. He said he had to run 5 or 6 people off of his place every deer season for hunting without permission and tresspassing. He told me that if they wanted their stands back, they could come to his house and get them..........not one of them has showed up to date to retrieve a stand. But anyone that will mess with a stand on a place that you have permission, ought to be drawn and quartered, and then shot.[:@]
