Stands and portable blinds may be put out a few days prior to the season in which used and removed a few days after the season ends. It is also not legal for tree stands to do damage to trees. If I had my way, stands would not be allowed to be left in the woods on public land because it gives the owner a false sense of having sole hunting rights to an area and just causes problem and squabbles.
We have pretty much the same rules here and have for quite a while. I don't see very many stands in trees at all. But I have seen bait piles which suggests that someone was hunting that spot. Do the carry the stand out with them? Seems like a lot of work.
