RE: Tree stand theft
My advice is put up another stand hiden from your original stand. Sit in the second stand just like deer season your benefits will be seeing what deer a now using the trails by your original stand and you will be able to shoot the stand thief with a good old bludgen tip just about the time he decides he wants to grab that stand. You probably would also have a shot at winning americas funniest home videos if you tape the event. Not to mention cops. Just a thought
