Yep, any stand within 10yards or so from the property line comes down. No one will start any trouble with us and they never have, they just accept it.
ESPECIALLY if we know that the hunter MUST walk across our property to access his stand. Call it an "easement"....thats what we are told to do and thats what we do.
Also, the property that borders this piece is township property and we posted it WildLife Safety Zone...So really, any stand on that land should be cut down by one of us, although the Township didnt request that we take stands down, only post itand then patrol when we can.

I have one stand, my climber, and it's all I need right now. I might put a couple of ladder stands on the two farms I started hunting last year and when I do I'll buy them. Last year I found five illegal stands on the public land I hunt and never thought about stealing them for my use,but I did leave notes stating that theymight end up at the rangers station as they should not be left up.

No I haven't taken any down that were in my woods. I've found people in my stands on the land that I own, things got very intense in a hurry!! Lets just say they won't be there again.
I've found permanent stands that people built on my land that I quickly demolished. I took the pieces and threw them back on the neighbors land being thats who put the stand up to begin with. They no longer own the land that buts up to mine!! I wonder why.

Over the years my cousin has given sole permission to hunt his land to about a dozen different folks usually during the same deer season. But i get your point.

If it is on my land or land I have sole permission to hunt, they just lost a stand, and I'll tell him to his face.
Shut Up Randy!!!!
