[QUOTE="Lost Lake, post: 5026622, member: 12599"] This is not aimed at anyone, and I hope it's not taken the wrong way. I wish they were not allowed to be left at all. Even though some may insist that leaving a stand doesn't mean they are claiming ownership, it gives the impression that it does. The last thing I want is to be hunting a spot and have someone walk in on me, or me on them. It happens I know, but there is a really good chance that if I hunt a spot that has a stand there, the owner is gonna show up. That's more commotion than I want in a spot that I'm hunting, plus I don't want to knowingly hunt someone's leftovers. That sounds worse than I mean it, but I'm not trying to insult anyone. On the other hand, what leaving a stand does is show me a spot to completely avoid, since I'm gonna assume that ( maybe incorrectly) they've hunted that spot to death and educated every deer in the country. Another thing I've seen, especially on a middle Tennessee WMA that I now avoid during any firearms season, is adjoining property owners creeping just over the boundary line and hanging stands and waving public hunters off. Pretty good tactic if you want to claim additional public to add to your private land for your hunting spot, because most hunters like me haven't got the time or stomach to get into a pissing match. It ain't worth it to me. Even leaving a stand overnight because you're coming right back in the morning can be a problem. Several times I've done that, only to find someone parked in the spot two hours before daylight ( I know because I talked to them later) and already in the area. So, I just lost my stand for the morning at least. If I had my wish, I'd only see others tracks, and them mine. [/QUOTE]
