Where's my stand?
salad days:
In Michigan you can hang stand two week before the season starts and it has to be out of the woods by two weeks after it closes. Its is also illegal to harm the tree in any way. I thought hunting in that spot for firearm season but then I'm gonna get in a fight out in the woods with a guy with a gun and no ethics. I'll pass.

Michigan is bad and the UP is no exception, had my own bad experience on private land this year >:(
The flood of hunters ::) from down below into the UP is starting now, expect a bumper crop this year with the baiting
ban in place down there. I feel for ya.

I'd be sitting in his stand come first light on opening day of gun season. Is this on public or private land? You know its illegal to leave a stand up over night in most state owned public land. At least it is in PA and OH. Also you can not cut or damage tree's in anyway. Just something to think about. I've had several stands stolen over the years but, not for a long time. I'm very careful about leaving them in a place where they wont be seen by other hunters.

yup,same same here in MN also,i wouldn't sit in his stand,guaranteed argument/confrontation with some armed dude,thanks but no thanks.
instead,what i would do if it was on public land is get a few guys together,a case of beer. sit there and drink it, and everytime someone had there fill and needed to empty a bladder
have them do it down the trails and funnels going to his stand,all around his stand etc. and then go out there durng the morning and evening and walk and talk and just be there,cause if it is public land you have the right to be there even if your not hunting.
just my 2 cents on it,dirty rotten thieving bastards.
peace,
tim

I'm thinkin my Llewelin setter might have a good day of grouse hunting Friday. I been setting up in that tree watching grouse walk around for weeks. They like the same kind of cover swamp bucks like. ;D If I'm real lucky I could bag a limit of pats and maybe feel like a little justice has been served.

I had it happen to me a few years ago. I hunt mostly public land and it's worse during turkey season. You only want a bird to gobble once.
Anyway one of the Universities did a study and found out that deer can't really tell the difference between human or deer urine. But when the dude not only stole my stand he set it back up for him to use not very far away. It was an old stand, I took a dump in it. I would have liked to have been there when he got in it in the dark:o
