I know a place where a guy has 15 of those junk home made wooden ladder stands 8 feet tall set out across a few hundred acres of public land. He leaves them until they rot and thinks he can run everybody around because,
i was in a club once (3500 acres/10 members) and there was one guy that everytime you signed into an area he'd say " i got a stand over there" so what am i suppossed to do? not hunt anything he's got a stand close to, he can't sit in all of them at once, and i'm giving him and others in the club that come in behind me an idea of where i'll be. the only down-side to this is if they know you kill a deer or 2 they start following you around and hunting the area when your not there.
