This fairly new climber is for sale:

524781_10200722327049245_789393603_n.jpg


I took it off one of my trees in a location I hadn't been on in a while - I hunt from a ground blind and have no use for it - it's in great shape, I'm guessing about 2 or 3 years old, no rust and the foam padding is still great.

It's in my shed now waiting for anyone that might be interested.

I was riding down the power line and instead of turning right like I normally do and run up the property line, I decided to edge down a steep riven just to see if I could get across the creek/run off - went down the slop about 25 yards and poof there it was - I almost fell off the wheeler - I'd have never have thunk someone would be seeking that far down to hunt -

He'll be surprised when they return in the fall :)

We found two stands stolen off our farm and found a lock on stand over looking a creek on our property about 200 yards inside the fence so he knew good and well he was on our property.

Hows this for ballsy trespassers. A couple years ago I had a two man ladder stand in our beanfield. My son and I went to hunt it one morn, and it was gone ! Later that morn, we noticed it was in the other end of the field. Their 4wheeler tracks showed where they had driven to/from the stand, then back to a neighboring subdivision :(

Out of curiosity, what would yall do if you caught a trespasser on your land? I dont say that to imply anything, just wondering what actions yall would take. Im not a land owner yet but I would think that were I to find someone on my property doing something they shouldnt be doing (being on my property without permission is bad enough)that I would get awfully irate and perhaps even a little "confrontational."

It would depend on the situation - if they knew I knew there were there - that would be one thing - I never walk/patrol my land without being armed - never know when you're gonna up on a meth head or something.....sad as that is ....

In this situation....had it been during the season, and they didn't know that I knew, I'd have called TWRA/Sheriff and let them handle it -

In this case - the person that I believe this belongs to moved out of the 'subsidized' home that they were renting 'in the middle of the night' - and I figure he just forgot about it - he's gone now, so, nothing to do -

Yeah, it's amazing how some people can be so bold as to put up a stand on private property and think nobody will ever find it. If I find one, I might do what you are doing but my 1st gut reaction is to shoot holes all over the frame with a rifle and leave it there with a "No Tresspasing" sign hanging from a rung of the ladder. That's what I did last year when I found a spot where somebody had been sitting against a tree and a decaying deer carcass was laying nearby with the head sawed off. I nailed a "No Tresspasing" sign to the tree he had been leaning against and then nailed some of his trail marker tape above the sign. I wanted him to know that his little "Secret spot" wasn't so secret. I never saw any evidence of anybody around there again.
