[QUOTE="DayDay, post: 5504679, member: 9643"] Most will but some will not and that's when it really sucks. As someone mentioned earlier, some places have so many stands that it is difficult if not impossible to set up away from one. I used to hunt Wolf River WMA. I walked a lot of woods scouting and locating good sign and trails. When I'd locate a good spot, I'd start looking for a tree that I could use my climber on that would cover the area I liked so I'd have it in my head during hunting season. That is when I would often see another stand; after I decided on the spot. I usually don't look up in the trees when I'm scouting. I don't think I would have found enough spots and backup spots if I eliminated those that had stands nearby. Most were hanging stands.; some ladder. I'd probably be a little more respectful if the hunt was limited, like a 3-day quota hunt on a refuge and I saw a stand. Even then, there is no way to know if the stand will be used during that hunt; it may have been set up for archery hunts that were open when the quota hunt is not in session... Stands can be left on WMA's without management permission unless they are left unattended for more than 24 hours. I think the National Wildlife refuges regs say that stands have to be removed daily; they did a few years ago. [/QUOTE]
