[Lovetohunt]

My old man went to hunt his ladder of Sat morning and some scum bag stole his stand. Its private land so it makes it worst. I wish one time I could catch some piece of [no swearing please] stealing a stand. Give me a break you cant spend $90 and buy your own stand. That really gets on my nerves. I have to lock my stands and hope some scum dont come and steal my stand. Its not only the money but the work you put into finding a spot and putting all that time into it. I know this has happens alot but had to vent.

Probably someone who had the land before and wants it back.

My father has been hunting there for 12 years. Plus that does not give someone the right to steal a stand.

One word about that person A**HOLE

 

[Dsaint004]

[no swearing please] bags, they should be......fill in the blank.

one thing i would suggest for the future is to engrave your name on the stand, camera, etc.. in several conspicous and not so conspicous places, perhaps that will make the scum think twice about taking that stand. and if he is that stupid to actually take it, perhaps if the word gets around the JOHNNY JONES' stand,camera, etc..was stolen, and someone you know happens upon it, you could get it back....whatever the case may be, good luck....

 

[otis0930]

sorry to hear that.....pisses me off [down]

 

[LittleLou]

104 very good point..I always put my name and my phone number in all my cameras..I have yet to get one back..Oges77 does the same to his cameras and everytime someone takes it, they always call and give it back..Guess he has better luck then i do..But then again i guess thats the price you pay to hunt some places we do..

i had 2 gorilla stands and a $150 feeder stolen on me last year...i know who it is but cant prove anything so i just keep replacing them... they just dont want me hunting the spot im hunting becasue i shoot alot of deer there (my and my dad both) and its close to the property line so they keep taking our stuff... i was going to build a wooden stand but i have fears that they will do something harsh and rig the stand so i hurt myself in the dark mornings climbing in... my only alternative was to stop baiting and start using the chippewa wedge hang on stands.. they go up easily in the dark and with minimal noise.. look into them, they are expensive but sure beats getting to your spot in the morning and wondering where all your stuff went... ruins your hunt BIG time, trust me.

Sorry to hear that. That is just LOW.

If its any consolation, Ive had stands stolen before, and so have MANY other hunters. (you arent alone)

Plus, I dont think there is anything you can really do to prevent someone who wants your stand bad enough, from getting it. Locks, step removal, etc, if they want it bad enough, they get it.[down][down][mad]

My question to these lowlifes is WHY?

Next time booby trap it.

Many years ago I had a Triumph TR3 sports car. It was a rag top with side curtains so impossible to lock. I installed an aftermarket FM radio hanging under the dash with plumbers tape. To prevent theft I used razor blades as washers for the mounting screws. Someone unsuccesfully tryed to steal it and I had a bloody mess on the seats.
