    Sammacqan,

    I guess the reason I would be upset that somebody was sitting in my store bought stand is because I would not in a thousand years ever do that to somebody.I totally aggree with the first come first serve on ground blinds or wood built tree stands.But it would take big huevos to sit in somebodys store bought.

     

     

    I agree with you, I would not sit in someone's store bought 'fresh stand', as long as it was hung up that season-- but what about the stands that people seem to leave up all year long?? I've seen a ton of those and I don't end up putting my stands up on those spots. On those spots with stands that have been hung for years and left there-- I do not hesitate to sit them... had the stand not taken a permanent presence-- I would have gladly hung my own.

     

    Good luck this year!

    I Have a question for all of you.What if you hang a store bought stand and you go to sit it and somebody is in it.I would tell the person he could sit the tank ,but I would be taking my property down. Also years ago I had a archery elk tag and had set up a store bought stand about three weeks before the season.Of course I walked around the entire tank to see if anybody else had set up.I get there the day before season and somebody has set up a ground blind.We were hunting a area with very few camps and that night a guy drives up to our camp and tells us he is going to sit that tank.It was very plain to see that he knew we had set up before him.He had a young boy with him and we told him to go for it.It was not worth making a big deal out of it.

     

     

    Why would you take it down?? Why not let him sit it and tell him you were planning on sitting it the next day or whenever you were planning on.. Just because he got there first and sat your stand, it does not mean he screwed you.. For all you know he could have been watching that spot for some time and didn't end up putting "his stand" in the tree because one beat him to it. At that point, I think the first come first serve should be recognized... yes, believe me I would be frustrated about it but "it is what it is". If the spot is good, leave it up and work with him on it. If it's a plan B spot and you can't get over it then take it down--- it just seems to me it would be easier to work it out with whoever beat you there that day. Like you said, some things are not worth making a big deal over. Good luck this year though...

    Alright, now I'm sketchin that all my cams are going to get ripped off! I still think it's worth the risk because of their effectiveness. Just out of curiosity though-- as far as "the letter of the law" is concerned, even if you did identify who someone is that takes a camera-- is it not "public property" as it is out in the public forest hanging on a tree?? Don't get me wrong here-- I know it is stealing plain as day and anyone who takes one realizes that as well but again as far as busting someone for it-- how is that going to happen?? Has anyone asked the game and fish about it? I think the most justice you will get is posting them online and actually figuring out who it is and then the ridicule is on!! Another question-- I just went out to check a spot that I have 2 cams on and then I notices that someone else showed up and hung their camera on the same freakin spot! I know I don't own the spot but give me a break-- is there no other spots to hang a camera--- What are all of your thoughts on that subject??

     

    Good luck everyone-- only a few more weeks!!
