On public land . . .
some states allows it for a specific time.
My theory on all kind of land is.....leave it all alone and it could be gone when you return. Heard of a fellow that chained his stand to a tree. When he returned a poacher had been there. Had cut the tree down, apparently with a chain saw. And the chain saw and tree stand were not in sight. Just the cut down tree. I may not like it, but I take those poachers seriously.
The climbing tree stand comes in and leaves the woods with me. That's my theory.

It has a lot to do with where you are. The private property that I hunt my ladder stand has been up for 3 years and no one has messed with it, and there isnt even a chain on it. There are also multiple stands from over the years around the property that Im sure the owner is no longer around, and they have never been messed with.

I leave my old climbers locked up to cut down on the hassel of hiking them in and to cut down on setting up time. But if they were stolen I have only myself to blame. my Viper stays in my truck or with me and is only left if I know I will be there the next morning. The stands I leave have served me well through the years.
