What is the best stand lock?
 

I just got done trimming up my stands and on one property had 2 stands stolen. What is the best type of lock to use?

Take them down an hide them.

What the hell is wrong with our fellow hunters? I absolutely cannot fathom how this can happen. [:@]

I haven't found a lock that stops them if they really want it.

i would try those kryptonite cables instead of chain and heavy locks.

In most Stores they have a steel cable with the plastic coating and a lock that seems to be a pretty tough system to cut through...or the same type in the Bike sections that have the steel cable and is probably a little cheaper?I put a heavy chain on my ladder stand and a stronger key lock on it,it can still be cut and stolen but the crooks are going to have to work for it! [:@]

I was told to put your name and address and social security number on the frame of a stand so if it is stolen and recovered you can claim it,but then they (Thiefs) have your info in their possesion too!

well if they stole both of them they will steal again and probably bring bolt cutters with them, so i would invest in a climber man, losing stands will get cashy, but if you have to, get the fattest f'in chain you can find and fat f'in lock!

The most you can hope for is to slow them down enough to detur them, there is no such thing as making it theft proof, Ive seen trees cut down to get stands, it is VERY SAD that so called hunters will take from others without even thinking about it.

any ever think of e;ectricuting thier stand with a bunch of car batteries? when they go to climb op it and touch it they would get a sap that would cause a little pain.


Disclaimer: Do not do this if u are forgefull
Only attecpt on ladder type stands so they dont fall and kill themselves.

half inch cable lock from home depot bolt cutters cant cut it!

RE: What is the best stand lock?
 

AHH, dont be too sure of that, Snap-on makes a bolt cutter that will cut through it as though it was butter!. Kinda reminds me of when they came out with wheel locks, didnt slow a theif down a bit!!!.

yep, like my Dad always told me: Locks are only to keep honest people from stealing! ;)

Masterlock Python. You can find them in the bicycle section at WalMart for about $25.

I also use the same lock for my trail camera. My dad andI lost the key about 2 years ago and bolt cutters just mashed the steel braided cable, wouldn't cut it. So my dad then tried the cordless sawzall. That wouldn't work either, ended up making the saw jump all over heck. So then my dad tried a good old fashioned hack saw. Sawed each day till the blade broke and then would show up the next day with another blade and saw some more. About a week later and a half dozen saw blades later we found the key.........[8D].

He managed to get about half way through the cable with the hack saw and we still use it today. Best darn lock on the market and at $25ish.......it'sa steal (pun intended). Works for cameras or stands.
