Thanks to a link from JMatthews this morning I saw this story....
Good lesson about pointing fingers and jumping to conclusions

What has become the first response....the anti's have sabotaged this guys hunt stand...
But in an updated story, the more likely scenario has been uncovered...

While thats stupid and dangerous, the owner of the treestand was trespassing. Thats an important lesson to take from this as well. Know your boundaries!
I may have misread the followup article but it seems the guy doing the cutting was trespassing. May have to reread the article latter.Quote:

Mine came in the way of someone removing the T pin from my hang on stand when I was just starting out. Afterwards I found out it was actually a mentor of mine who took the pin, he was trying to be sure nobody else would use the stands while we were out.
No, the second guy (Palm,who cut the tree)....'thought he was trespassing'.....but your comment is still valid....you have to KNOW where your hunting.Quote:

If I was the property owner,I'd make sure neither of them hunted on my property. They're both idiots,the trespasser AND the goof that wrecked my tree. I think I'd be kicking his arse,too.
The guy with the stand did nothing wrong.....the other hunter with the the chainsaw was trespassing.Quote:

Like mike has stated the guy with the chainsaw was the only trespasser, the guys who's treestand (tree) was damaged was allowed to be where his stand was, the guy with the chainsaw is the one who didn't know the boundaries of his hunting lease!! He should of got more than a misdemeanor charge as far as I'm concerned.
I'd hate (or like) to see what'd happen if the chain hit the stand..
I think the word "treehugger" doesn't qualify..This perpetrator obviously has a disdain for nature...Period....
That was a perfectly good tree. What a shame.
OK. I couldn't get the first link to work and the second one didn't cover as much (update) ,but,I finally got the gist and you're right. That would really PO a landowner,wouldn't it?Quote:

Logging rights ???...he tried to kill another hunter because he thought he had put a stand up on land that he thought HE had leased....Quote:

On our side of the border, a charge of Mischief Endangering Life would likely be considered !
Absolutely,along with criminal negligence endangering life,wilful destruction of private property and mischief. He'd definitely be looking at jail time.Quote:

My friend had his tree stand stolen on private property that he was supposed to be the only person who was granted permission. When he asked the landowner about it the owner was quite angry. Turns out the son came home with it after he and his buddies "found" it in the bush then gave it away to one of his buddies. My friend got an apology and a new stand out of the deal. Savage308
You are correct. The guy that cut the tree was off his permission and on the the property next door.Quote:

That guy would be buying me a new tree.
Putting someones life at risk isn't the way to handle a situation like that at all. Silly guy
Could even consider criminal negligence.Quote:

Years ago one of my hunting buddies put up a wooden tree stand way back in the woods - on public land - he didn't think anyone would go back there so far - but eventually some guy got let off along the turnpike and came in from that direction - well my buddies goes to use the tree stand one day and some guy is sitting in it - my buddy tells the guy that he put up the stand and wants to use it - the guy in the stand ignores my buddy - so after telling the guy to get off he puts a lot of dead branches around the tree and starts a fire - the guy in the stand gets down and walks away - never say a word to my buddy - I always thought that was a good way to get your point across =
So how's that different than the guy with the chain saw. Your buddy is a dumdazz too in my books. Stand built on public land becomes public domain and if someone decides to use it you better be big enough to walk away.Quote:
