Tree Stands

RE: Tree Stands
It is awful sad thatjust about everyone in here has to lug a stand in on opening day. Hard to believe that there are that many weasles in the woods.The worst part is it is hunters stealing from hunters. My biggest problem is the guys that chain one up and leave it on public land for five seasons. Can you permanently lease a space just by hanging one. I see some that you can tell have not been sat on in years and I stear clear, but what are my ethical obligations. It locks up prime spots that I should be hunting. Oh to own 50 acres......>>>Whack

RE: Tree Stands
Hey Planter, that's a good point about people leaving stands up on public land.[:@] If I see one that's been left in the woods and it's not occupied, in an area I want to hunt, I just hunt there. That's their tuff s%&t! That's the way it goes.Sometimes in this one State Park I hunt, rangers will remove stands that have been left and the owner must go to the office to claim them, facinga possible fine.

RE: Tree Stands
reason is many why stands are stolen. i hunted state forestland for almost 50 years. i hunt area i hunted for 50 years. now, new jersey hunters come in and put up 14 stands in my hunting area.yes,14 stands.they put them up 5 days before opening on monday or leave them there for years. then they see me on sunday and say, HEY SPROUL WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING.i said, well up to put my stand up in my spot i have been hunting for 50 years. oh no, we were here first. can you believe the a holes from out of state coming here. they are raised that way , i know i worked in new jersey. so, after this ,many hunters get mad and steal the stand or knock it down.here is another one. they buy camp on stateforestland. i hunted around that camp for 50 years.NOW, they run out of camp and say to us,SPROUL,LAW SAYS YOU CANT HUNT WITHIN 150 YARDS OF OUR CAMP. yet, they put 6 treestands around camp and they hunt it.they even drill steps into the live trees.yet, law says i cant TRESSPASS around that camp when occupied,you cant even walk accross there. this is why stands are being stolen. people who hunted all their lives in that area are now being chased out by out of state hunters, mostly new jersey who now think they own the woods. yes, they leave their stands out for years. why cant those stands be required to be removed after season is over. you know why they leave them, they are saying to us local pa hunters,THIS IS MY SPOT SPROUL, STAY HELL OUT!!i hope no one gets mad on the new jersey hunter comment a made but trouble we are having is with them.

RE: Tree Stands
Well i had a 2nd lock-on in layaway, but after hanging this 1st one up. I feel its getting harder on a 56 year worn out old fart. I will sell it after this years deer season. I put a 15' ladder stand on layaway, i think its safer fer me. So next i will get is a decent Ground Blind. I wonder if that total scent control is worth the extra money they ask fer them? Anyone out there tried one out to see if they really work? Come on folks don't be shy! I need to knowed about these things!
