Bow season came to a end this weekend in IN. I walked the familar trail to my stand Sat morning( my own property). I glance up from time to time looking for it's outline against sky. After a while I realize it isn't there. My 15 foot ladder stand is laying in two pieces on the ground.

Some one had gone to the trouble to bring a bolt cutter, and cut the chain,. and push the stand over.At first I thought maybe vandals, but what would they gain. Seems like a lot of trouble. But then maybe they had intended to steal it, and found it was to heavy to drag out. I have never had a problem with my neighbors, so I doubt it was any of them. The closest farm does let outsiders hunt. Thats the only thing I can think of.

I sure would like to find a way to get even.
