If it looked good to you, it probably looked good for the same reason to him. Even if he is a "tag along" they never last long and you may find it handy to sit in HIS stand some time.

I've hunted public ground where this one dork was hauling homemade ladder stands all over 200 acres and thought it meant he owned that spot. I used his stuff when ever I felt like it.

They aren't "buying" an acre of public ground and keeping me off it for the price of a couple two by fours.
