Well, my stuff hasn't been stolen yet. But There are four in my group with stands nearby and someone put another stand less than thirty feet away facing me! I have to look right at this numbskull in October. I hope he just made a mistake and moves his stand before then. My friends have been hunting from the same tree for four hunting seasons now. I know I always see plenty of other hunters when I hike around, but come on! There are other empty trees a couple hundred yards away. At least seventy-five yards would be good. My friends think he is deliberately trying to annoy us and wants to hunt over our bait. I am giving him the benfit of the doubt until I actually find him to ask him to move his stand.
