I'm with you about that. A left stand does not hold a spot. But everyone should use common courtesy when hunting. If I go to an area and see a stand I will go somewhere else the first time. But if it stays then I think the first person to the spot gets it. I've met a lot of good friends hunting on public land after we ended up hunting in the same areas. Also met some real jerks who think just because its public land its ok to mess up others hunts because its "public land" I'll do what I want.

BC and WRB, for you're information, a "slob" hunter I am not. And I only hunt public land if I'm drawn for a quota hunt. But let's get one thing straight! Public land means exactly that. My tax money pays for it just like yours does. And where do you get off dissing hunters that use ladder stands?? That's a personal choice just like deer hunting with a rifle, shotgun, muzzleloader or a bow. I am fortunate enough to have several private farms to hunt on. But I love hunting the country, especially on the quota hunts. So, if, while I'm scouting I find some good sign and want to put up my ladder stand in a prime location for the upcoming hunt, I will do so, but only after thoroughly inspecting the surrounding area for anyone else's stand. And I would expect the same courtesy.

No offense to anyone that has posted but this section is for TWRA questions...NOT DEBATE!! If you wish to continue this debate, please take it to the serious or general forum...I will gladly throw my two-cents worth in there. There are a few of us that are waiting for an answer from a TWRA official on this matter and would love to see it not locked!!!!
Thanks!!!

This is LBLs policy:
"Tree Stands: Portable stands and climbing devices that do not injure trees may be used. All portable stands must display the name and address of the owner. Portable stands may be placed on trees no more than two weeks before the hunting season and must be removed within one week following a hunting season or portion of a split season. Nails, spikes, screw-in devices, wire, or other devices which injure trees must not be used for attaching stands or climbing trees."
I can only assume that when a particular stand is placed on a particular tree it is there (both the tree and stand) for the use of the person whose name is attatched to it.
Hunting IMO near or very close to that stand is an ethical issue that another hunter would have to decide for themselves. Yes, you could hunt in the tree right next to it but since it is public land every "other" tree or area is open to the "public."

If I recall correctly it was recommended by the regions so the agency can track down hunters should they leave them up for more than the permitted time. A TWRA ID# is more useful to us than "Dave Smith".

If I'm not mistaken, one would also need to know your date of birth along with your TWRA ID# to access your information.

Besides the TWRA ID# you will also need the correct D.O.B. I am sure someone persistant enough to "crack" the system will eventaully do so. If they are unlucky, it might take them 365 tries. Once in, they will see all the harvest records, the priority points, and the license sales history of that TWRA ID number, however, they still won't know who it is. Personal information will not be displayed.

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.
