Like I said, I appreciate all you opinions. We can continue to create scenarios and sitiutaions that will support our views until the cows come home, but know ones going to change their mind.

There are 3 people in this forum who disagree with me and think marking a spot for yourself is exceptable. I posted this on the Bowhunting forum and last time I checked, there were 2 people that agreed with me. Add myself to those 2 and its 50/50. When I talked to people in the field, thats generally what I find as well. It right down the middle.

Well guys, put up your permanent stands, lock them up and keep your fingers crossed. NJ will continue to be considerate and leave areas when he see stands go up no matter how long he may have scouted/hunted the area. Ruddy doesnt mind people squating in his blind when he's not around so he should be ok. Big wants people to leave his area when they see his stand. And then there's me, who will be out and about, doing what I can to keep areas open for ALL the hunting public to enjoy.

Happy Hunting

Any day spent huntin, is better than any day spent workin,,
