Just to clarify, we were doing a deer drive on property we had permission to hunt. We did cross the line onto land that was not owned by our host. It is either owned by a developer, the county, or the state. It consists of swampy, thick woods adjacent to a major highway without a building in sight. Perhaps a developer who owns it gave the lock-on owner permission? I think it is more likely the lock on owner was there the same reason we were there for the most part. We were there (unlawfully) walking back to the property we had permission to hunt. We had simply crossed over into it trying to jump up some deer we had seen.
Great, so you guys are trespassers, poachers, and thieves. Great post!! LOL

i would never take anything on state land. but on my land, i will take the stuff, but leave a number to be reached, if they wantit back. that way, if they want it back, they will have to come talk to me and explain how they missed the no hunting signs on there way in. also if something goes missing, you have an idea of who has been on your land before.

Somewhere it shouldn't be? If at all?
Recently I went hunting with a friend and we did a deer drive that led us to some state land next to a major highway. We had started the drive on a mutual friend’s private property. On the way back we came across a lock on tree stand that was put up recently. It was in a very desirable spot. It was about fifteen feet up a tree with a lot of limbs to climb to get to it. The tree was just about twenty yards away from some gnarly, twisted, thick-limbed bushes that offered excellent cover for deer. A great ambush spot!
Anyway, my friend thought it was appropriate to climb up and take it down and back to camp with us. I didn't agree with it, but my friend had said that another two hunters out of our hunting group had a trail camera stolen from around that same location very recently. It was actually stolen the night they put it up! Maybe this was payback. I am not as invested into this property personally although I do hunt there quite often. Ironically, in the end the landowner chastised my friend for taking the stand down and leaving footprints from the stand site back to his place. I would have left it there myself. How about you?

If this is not state land then maybee the land owner took thier camara down on his way out to hang his stand that your friend just stole.
