First come first serve in my book. If I found good signs only to find a ladder stand in the same area I will still hunt that area. The ethical thing would be for the person with the ladder stand to find another spot. If I showed up the next day and they were hunting in the ladder stand already I would quietly move on to find another location. Nope. The ethical thing to do would be for you to find another spot if the ladder stand was there first.
and there is the problem i was talking about.Why not just make everyone carry in thier stand opening morning?You can do that with a ladder stand.just stops all this i put my stand up 3 weeks before season so I own this spot.
doesn't matter it won't be inforced by TWRA anyway.i move on when i find atree stand but always think it sucks that I don't get to hunt the spot because someone hung a stand before the hunt.

Its just you can not claim a spot and its off limits to everyone else. you just need to get up early and beat everyone else. If so then great. If not you should have a back up plan.

This thread is one more reason why I will try to avoid hunting public land. I've enjoyed hunting private land for many years and if I had no other choice I would gladly hunt public, and I have. And yes, I've had the same problems in clubs too. I would love to hunt some close by WMA's, just don't need the hassle. I guess this is just one of the things you have to accept.

I like public lands with no ATV access allowed. This seems to level the playing field greatly with regards to the ladder stand problem.

Tnyote. I deer hunted 40+ days last year and got walked up on 3 times all year. Every time the other hunter did not know I was there. It was absolultly no fault of the other hunter even though I did not care for it at the time. I think most just need to learn the "lay of the land" and everything could work out.I can afford to join a lease but have some much fun hunting at the WMA why should I pay to hunt.

The way I look at it, instead of putting money into a lease, I diversify my investment into gas money and hunt numerous WMAs through out TN and MS, likely totaling over 100,000 acres of hunting land. I hunt the big, popular WMAs during bow season and focus on archery only areas, less popular WMAs and my 2 or 3 marginal, private properties during gun season. Why have one snobby rich woman, when you can have all of the abused tramps?

I think it is unfair to hang a stand and leave it. It "reserves" a spot which kicks out the potential for anothern hunter to hunt that tree.

Inconsiderate to place ladder stands up and tie a piece of PUBLIC land up until you feel like showing up to hunt. First come first serve is the only fair way to work it.
