that gets me steaming mad. get this i had someone trespassing andthey had the nerve to set up a ground blind on my own property. i have a feeling that they are the ones that stole a stand from me a year ago. and they have to walk in cause there is no way they could even get a four wheeler in.

Thanks for all of the replies everyone. I knew you guys would understand my frustration and that some of you would have similar stories. I think it is utterly pathetic that so many of us have to deal with thieves on our hunting ground[>:].

It will never cease to amaze me how Bold/Stupid some people can be!

I guess they are every where. I thought Southern IL had a corner on the market

That sucks and im sorry to hear it [:@]. I would try to get a trail cam next time, and hide it really well aimed right at the blind. Then hopefully if the scumbags ever come back you'll know who they are! Just an idea!

I dought very much that they would be there on or around the lunch hour. i bet its late afternoon of just before dark that they took your blind. Like the last couple of reponses get a trail camera make sure it can't be seen and your get a glimpse of your theves.

Contact your local L.E. agency now and when you get that great photo of them.

That is ridiculous. A friend of mine that I hunt with was telling me this past season that he has had 9 stands stolen off his property...that adds up! You have to be pretty worthless to sneak onto someone else's property and then take their stuff.

I don't really use the trail cameras I have as I don't have any true "convenient" places to set them up, but if I had things start disappearing, you can bet your arse I'd have them set up over "bait" in a position that they couldn't easily be stolen or noticed.

Sorry to hear about this Brett, I'd be fighting mad as well. I've taken a handful of stand that were left on mine or families property by TRESPASSERS, but never trespassed to take stands.

Makes me grateful for the part of Illinois where I own my land. My dad left a stand on my property that is only about 50 yards from the road and very visible and it sat there for months until he recently took it down.
