yeah I kinda had sorta the same thing happen to me on opening day, I have the same tree I have climbed and hunted on opening day for 5 years. Well apparently on FRIDAY the day before opening day a guy on the bordering property went in and BUILT a wooden tree stand 100 yrd from me overlooking the same gutter that I do. I mean I ask this question, WHAT KIND OF IDIOT DECIDES TO BUILD A TREESTAND THE DAY BEFORE HUNTING SEASON!!!!! I sometimes wonder if it woudlnt be better if they did get rid of gun hunting in MD because I have seen more idiots this year out walking around by 7:30, we've seen at least 3 deer stumbling around with blowed off legs, and the whole treestand building thing, has got me feeling this way. I know alot of people will disagree with me, but I know where I hunt most of the gun hunters are just plain dumb. I am starting to slowly hate gun season.
