Well after finding out this morning someone stole the two lower sections of my ladder off my stand and both my 10.00 a piece ratchet straps.
I thought the day would be all bad.

Well i saw the neighbor i meet yesterday who gave me both the front shoulders from his doe. I went to let him know someone was jacking stands in the area. I helped him finish the doe. He had both hind quarters on the gamble i gave him he asked if i would grab one and carry it in for him. When i get it off he says well that should hold you over till you get a deer. He gave me one of the hind quarters. I got about 20 pounds of meat off it. Heck between the both front quarters the inside lions and the hind quarter i think i got more of the deer then he did.

I offered to help him rebuild his quad runner. I hope i can get a good relationship with him. I need a hunting buddy.

SO the day was not all bad. Though i am still out 100 bucks.

sounds cool also remember everything happens for a reason maybe the SOB that stole your stand isfiguring out that he is a scum bag and he will return it...............maybe

What are you doing leaving things in the woods that canbe stolen so easily? You should know better Tim.

It had a cable lock on it. I should not make my hunting harder just because some a**hole is a thief.
