Well 2 days ago i go to go across the street where i have a stand for 3 years and only really hunted twice with sucsess. i put some bait out 2 days before and as i am wlking to it isee my lddder kind of hanging. So I think WTF?i know it was windiny this week but not that windy. i get up to it just the top extenson and the platform are still there!!!! all of my bait was kicked in the water and the stabilizer and all straps and 2 extensions were gone. WTF? 3 years here with no probs. Im going through a neighbors house and they are really cool. im ony about 75yds from there yard. im really pissed. I hope they get AIDS and die. I think it is really shitty to take someone elses stuff. Thank god i had the top locked but wtf? now I am scred to put another stand back up. this was my winter bow spot, and its across the street from my house. I was thinking of putting something back up with a camera up by it high in a tree facing down to see if i can see who it is? Well it sucks either way. just venting!!! I do hope they die!![mad]
 
Sorry for your loss. If it's across the street than why didn't you use a climber and keep your spot a secret? Not like you have to hike it in a half mile or more like the rest of us. Hope you learned from this. You can't trust anyone, anywhere, anytime.
 
I've had the same problem in the past. I locked the stand up good but then they vandalize whatever they cannot steal. Took my ratchet straps, drop line and anything not attached. I thought anti a-holes but it was another hunter. A 17 or 18 year old who got caught by the CO's this past fall. Anyway, whether it is anti tree huggers, kids or other hunters, they are all scumbag a-holes.
 
go back and look around for your larrer parts. most antis dont have the guts to walk out with your . id look around about 199 yrs around from where you were set. they most likely threw it in a crick or covered it up with branches and leaves. a camera up high would show whos messing with it.good luck, mike

Well,Jersey hunter. i really didnt think i had to? this is a perfect little spot. But what it is is that i put out about 65lbs of carrots. and they are like blaze orange, so i think that is what brought it so much attention. plus the trees over there are not the best for clinbers but i will have to do that from now on. i like just going in and being quiet, but who doesnt? well i was just venting. thanks for the responses. Have a good new year everyone!! And good rest of your seasons!!
 
Probally kids and not anti's
I thought the same thing. Schools were all off the last week and kids with nothing better to do probably. Likely vandalism more than anything else.
