I've been blessed to hunt public lands with very little issues since 2007.
Me and a buddy, in the 17 seasons, have each had 1 trail cam stolen. No big deal as we hung cheap cameras knowing the risks, and the cams were primarily used for inventory pics. I rarely hunt near the cams because they tend to attract other hunters.
But today, we found someone stole my 77yo step dad's locked ladder stand in the last few days. This bothers me the most. We hung his stand in an easy to get to place for him.
Life goes on, but I do hope whoever took it gets found out.
Some people....
And yes, we did talk with the game warden. He knew exactly where the stand was. The week before, I had to report to the game warden someone had dumped a pile of corn 50 yards away which had already screwed up the opportunity for him to use that stand.
Spoke again with the game warden and he confirmed the stand was there late last week.
No questions asked if someone here has the stand. Just put it back where it was. (Not that anybody here would steal a stand... but just in case someone reading this becomes aware of the theft)
