I hunt public land and leave mine out. there are a ton of other peoples out where I hunt and there never seems to be a problem with that. I feel sorry for you all that get your stands stolen.

Oh and BTW, they are not sportsmen, they are theives/Slobs/whatever else you can think of and not sportsmen.

I had my Baby Grand stolen 2 years ago along with my climbing stick and safety belt...I would have LOVED to been walking in when they were walking out.
