That to me sounds more like ANTIS to me than other hunters. I don't believe other hunters would do something like that, if they are that way there more likely to steal the stands[>:] Sorry to hear about it and im glad you caught the damage. If you catch the anti that did it, carry him up the thirty foot tree and drop him on his head. Drop the stand on top of him and call it an accident. Say he must of died trying to sabotage your equipment. OR instead of killing him, beat the crap out of him
