stolen stand
 

well i went out yesterday afternoon to check on my stands before the season started and to make sure everything was ok. i got to the tree i had hung my stand in and couldn't find it! i thought maybe i had the wrong tree, but i looked all around, and still couldn't find it. turned out someone stole my stand! i went to check on my other one on the property and thankfully that was still there! i'm just mad that someone would do such a thing! i'm still deciding if i should go to the dnr or something or not, and if it's worth it.. but i'm going to tell the landowner to keep an eye out for my stand and climbing ladder.

Yeah that bites!
I've had 3 stands stolen to date that were all locked up.
The thieves best hope that they don't get caught in the middle of the act, I don't think they will like the results from their hospital visit.

Went to my stand this morning and it was gone. The stand my brother in law went to was fine. With all the wind several weeks back I couldnt get to another stand so I went back to the truck. I layed there until about nine then I got up. Went to a little ridge and sat there. At 1010 am from the ground just messing around I shot a doe. We know who did the dead because they got us this spring. The people that live next to the property have a 14 year old son who has all kinds of problems and he messed up the stands. We threatened to go to the police if one more stand is damaged.

I had 3 stand stloen from me in a weeks time but got them all back. The kicker is it was police officers boy that took them. I didn't press any charges because the police gave then back and appologized for it.
