RE: tree stand theft
 

SJHunter I spoke to a woman in the Northern District Office and she told me that leaving a stand in the tree for any length of time was against wma rules stateing that technicaly you are harming the vegetation ( the freedom of the tree from growing) and also by leaving the stand up it is not a portable any more but a permanent stand. I' m only going by what what was told to me by the Division. Sorry for any confusion and now I don' t know who to believe. Fortunately I use a climber. Also if you use any screw in steps to get to your stand that also is against the regs. Nocutting or damaging vegetation. I imagine that also goes for cutting shooting lanes. The laws are pretty clear regarding harming trees.

RE: tree stand theft
 

these laws by the conservation departments can be very vague. sometimes i think they do it on purpose.

RE: tree stand theft
 

SJhunter does leaving the stand in the tree give this hunter some jurisdiction over the site as it seems he would be reserving the area for himself. And it is public land' suppose I want to hunt from the same tree, what gives him the right to claim this tree as his own for the season and leave a stand there he will not be using everyday. There is a hanging stand 50 yds from where I hunt and its been there for 3 years,and I know no one has hunted from it. That makes it a permanent stand in my book. Just my opinion that no one should be entitled to leave a stand at the end of the day if he or she does not intend to use it the next day'
