He may think he is hunting on the land next to yours that he does have permission to be on. You would be surprised how many people out there hunting Friends, ect... land that don't know where the property lines are.
A few years ago I found someone in a climbing stand 300 yards into this property, I walked over and asked him, what are you doing over here? He thought he was still on the property he did have permission to hunt on. He was very nice about it, told me sorry, he thought he was on the right property, he left with out a problem.

Take the stand and block and leave a note where he can come and retrieve it. Leave a phone # with the note so he can contact you. If he doesn't then it's your stuff.

I had a friend that found a stand on his property and he took it down and he took it home with him. A few days later the state police show up at his door and they where going to arrest him for stealing the stand. He told them the guy was trespassing and thats why he took the stand. Police told him he cant take the stand like that even though the guy was trespassing. Now this was a few years ago, unless laws have changed, IMO, don't take it home. Just take it down and the salt lick, and put a note on it telling him he is going to get arrested if he finds him on there again. I'm just putting out some friendly advice because I had a friend that had the same problem. By leaving the stand torn down and left at the tree, you avoid any potential altercations.
