[QUOTE="CHRIS WILSON, post: 5506824, member: 2609"] Public land is pretty much all I hunt. Coming across stands that folks have left in the woods is pretty much common place these days. As I'm sitting here, I can think of at least five ladder stands, one literal shooting house and a climbing stand or two that folks have hauled onto public land....setup and left there for the whole season. Seems that some folks either don't take the time to read the regulations concerning leaving equipment in a given area or just flat out don't care....but that's a whole other rant I could go off on. Being that it's public land, one can pretty much expect that the great spot you believe you've found has probably been discovered by at least one other hunter and probably several in reality. To expect other public land hunters, who have also scouted the area, to not hunt a specific spot just because someone left a stand there in an attempt to call dibs is a pretty narcissistic line of thinking. If someone has that expectation, they're probably going to get their feelings hurt more than once in the course of the hunting season while hunting on public land. Word of advice.....always have a back up plan when hunting public land. Chances are good that at some point, you'll need to just move on to different spot. [/QUOTE]
