Illinois Rule for Identifying Tree Stands
 

Seen in the Illinois DNR Hunting Regs that you are required to mark your tree stands with your information, Name, address and phone number. What is the best way to do this? engraving, or a tag attached to your stand?

A black sharpy marker. I check and most are not marked. I do not mind my name or tag # but my address is another thing.
Theives are more likely to steal it when they see I am from out of town or state. I hate theives,liers and litter bugs.

Wisconsin requires a tag that has your name address and phone number on your stand while hunting public land.

I got a brass tag engraved and then used liquid nails to hold it on. You need a hammer and chisel to get it off.

I was concerned about putting my address on the stand as well. I know that stands get stolen from especially public lands. besides a cable lock any other sugestions? Thanks

midsouth are you talking about stands on public ground or all stands

RE: Illinois Rule for Identifying Tree Stands
 

I was talking about public lands

RE: Illinois Rule for Identifying Tree Stands
 

Yea i think it is just true for public land but as said before when i hunted public land i just put my name address and phone number with sharpy marker on my tree steps

A paint stick works good.

On public ground, you're better off using a climber. First, more than likely if you leave it, it will disappear. Second, you will have less of a chance for confrontation when a jack*** is sitting in your stand when you arrive. Third, other hunters do there scouting by looking for stands.Welcome to life on public land.
