Was reading in another post of a gentleman who had his blind stolen on public land. Man, I HATE a thief!!! I've had gates and posts pulled down on my farm so they could steal my feeding trailers. I've had stand up air compressors unbolted and stolen while we got good pics there was nothing done because the license plate and their faces were covered. Heck we had a calf stolen by a truck moving through our cattle on a back road, we caught him though. I hate em!!
Something I really don't like either is going on public land and seeing ladder stands, ground blinds, lock on stands and climbing stands left for the owner to come back to. When I see any of the above I move on and on some properties that's a substantial amount of land. I know I can still hunt there I just prefer not to have a confrontation on a hunt if I can help it. I go hunting to relax and enjoy the precious time to myself. I've seen orange ribbons surrounding ladder stands for people to keep out of the area. I've even seen keep out signs surrounding the stands all well within the public lands boundary. Elk hunters out west are especially bad about putting blinds and stands on waterholes again, it's open for all it kinda excludes most everyone else but the owner of the stand. Like I said I HATE thieves but, I don't like that stuff left on public hunting land either.
