[QUOTE="scn, post: 5506745, member: 1859"] Very true. On public land that is hunted every day, I have a big problem with stands being left between hunts. It is almost as much an attempt to "reserve" a spot as anything. I have zero issues with anyone setting up close to a stand in those situations because there is a very high likelihood that the stand owner won't be hunting that day. The Oak Ridge hunt is very different. Hunters have access for one (?) scout day a short time before the hunt. If I go to a spot and see a stand, I would figure there is a high likelihood that person is going to show up for a pretty coveted hunt. If I choose to hunt within feet of his/her stand, I do so with the knowledge that there is a pretty big chance that my hunt is going to be disrupted in some way. If they choose to hunt their stand, there are zero regulations against them doing so. If it is a good enough spot, then maybe it is worth the gamble that "life" has prevented that hunter from showing up that morning. But, IMO, it wouldn't be worth the hassle of what is very likely to take place. [/QUOTE]
