I've had 2 stands stolen,during the season.I can't hunt every day.If I was younger I would not have a problem taking down my ladder stand every night but because of my physical condition I need help just putting one up.
How does a gps help locate your stolen stand?

You think you have the right to hunt the same spot every year because you leave your stand there. BS. Take your stand when season is over and your stand won't be stolen. How many stands are actually stolen in season? Prob very few,it is when idiots leave them there all year they get stolen. Go cry to someone else for you not obeying the laws when it comes to stands on public land. You die hard hunters,You know the out every day hunting and in your stand. Think about it. Is your stand stolen from you? No, it is the ones who are lazy and don't hunt hard that gets their stands stolen. Keep crying people. Obey the laws on public land and your stand won't get stolen.

Wow, not only are you flat out wrong, on a bunch of things, you're encouraging stealing. At least here, the LAW and F&G "law" states stands can be left on public land from just before the season to just after. I've had 1 stolen last year. Was there one weekend when I hunted, went back the next Saturday to hunt, poof, no stand. They took the stand, cable lock, safety rope and steps. Many people I know have them stolen, always during the season.

A stand in a tree does not "reserve" your spot, only an idiot thinks that, heck if someone is sitting IN your stand, they have that right, it's public. But you can't take it.

Never had any worry

Never put out a trail cam and I always carried my climbing tree stand into and out of he woods on the same day.
Found one sharp hunter who saw markings on one tree. Sat for awhile near the tree, probably thinking that the tree stand was in so deep, someone else must have gotten to the tree and stole the tree stand.

This is all about when you leave your stand on public land. Law says it's supposed to be taken out with you every time you leave. Leave nothing there. But what about when you're hunting on private property and your stands are stolen. I left my stands out on private property and they were stolen in the off season. Does that rule of "if it's left out there, it's fair game" still apply. I don't think so.
