RE: Tree stands
The area that I hunt has many tree stands setup year round and even though I did not put up all of them I know everyone that hunts the woods that I do and we have an agreement that no one takes another persons stand site for the first week of season after that if you're not in it it is free game.
That has been worked out that way for years though - I wouldn't go onto public land or property that I did not have permission to be on and just take someones stand though.

RE: Tree stands
As the above guys have said, many times but only with permission and with the clear understanding with the owner of the stand that I would be there. I usually offer up my stands as well if I am going to sit in another persons spot.

RE: Tree stands
Yep, all the time. Only with permission though, and they know exactly where I will be. Why? Because I hunt on land owned by others and the land is covered with stands. No need to bring my own and the guys I hunt with love to have the company when hunting. We always have 2 way radios with us so we are in contact with each other. After reading what others have to go through to hunt, I consider myself to be a very fortunate hunter!

RE: Tree stands
Last summer I went up to our lease in Steuben Co. and checked on two different ladder stands. I loosen the upper strap so it does not over extent the strap. When I went back to re-set up the stand some low life local stole one of the stands. I couldn't believe it. The locals out there have a hard-on for us because they hunted the property for years without paying a dime for the use. Now we lease the property and they feel slighted. Loosers!
