[QUOTE="Red Sparky, post: 869269, member: 37223"] Depends on the laws of the state you live in. Here, even if it is your stand, it could be considered abandoned property. Public land is usually first come first serve. Doesn't give someone the right to your property but can you prove it is yours? Make sure you have your name on it someplace with last four of social security #. That way if somebody is being a jerk you can say " There is my stolen stand with my name and identifier on it. What is your name so I can tell local law enforcement or you can wait until they get here.". Usually I have never had a problem on public land but I don't use tree stands. I have back up plans. One year I was on a water hole someone else had planned on hunting. We talked and I considered wind direction and told them I would be happy to move up to where another canyon came in about 1/2 mile away or they could. They were set and determined to be on the water hole. Only time I ran into spoiled, rich, babies determined to have their way. So I smiled and went on my way to the other canyon. What they did not consider was the way the elk would come to the water hole if they got past me I was upwind of the elk and would possibly run them away from the water hole. So set up on the canyon, the other hunters 1/2 mile down wind of me, I took off scent lock base layers. I turned them inside out and hung them about 50 yards downwind of me. Yep I saw elk and killed a nice 5X5 and the other hunters saw squat. I gave them the option to be in my position but they turned it down so I don't feel bad at all. The look on their faces when they came by after dark, to check on what I had shot at and if I did any good, was priceless. [/QUOTE]
