If your going to build one , Do Like my neighbours kid did . Saved up his money , bought a double wide stand . Stolen first year he had it . Got another one as Christmas present .. stolen the next season . Went to a friend of his who has a mig welder . Built his own stand . Three 5 ft sections of ladder . On the second section , the first three steps , he only put one small tack weld on each end of the rung . This one didn't get stolen , but half way thru the season he hadda weld those rungs back on . We,re pretty shure thief learned his lesson .
too bad stuff gets stolen on private property. Cant say I condone booby trapping a stand, if some kids got hurt playing on it I think you would feel really terrible?

If your there to steal something and you get hurt then you deserved it anyway. Gonna build a wood one. Where my stand was is on a family friends farm and his kids are older.Quote:

It's likely somebody close by your area so keep your eyes open. Ask the neighbours too. A friend had his stand "stolen". Knocked on the neighbour's door to see if he'd seen anything. No answer at the door. Garage door was open so he took a peak to see if the guy was in the garage. Guess what he's staring at!!! Neighbour claims he didn't know the guy had permission so he removed the stand. Says he knew the owner would come looking! yeah right!
That's who I'm thinking has it because they have a four wheeler path about 10 feet away.Quote:

Try a climber. I had an land owner on the neighbouring property steal my racket straps and just leave the stand on the tree. Thank godness i do not climb. Climbers work.
Someone merely walking up your driveway and looking in an open garage is definitely not trespassing.Quote:

I,ve seen several stands blinds in bush and never had any urge to mess with or steal one
It's very unfortunate that gear gets stolen. That why I don't own a trail cam or climbers. My group and I make our tree stands. Even on the private land that we hunt on stuff gets stolen. Unfortunately, with little temptation a honest person can turn into a thief over night. A tree stand left in the bush. Free pickings for some people.
I was with a group of guys one year hunting and we came across a trail cam. They didn't steal it but put a bullet through it. Just as bad in my opinion. My recommendations. Bolt it down or it's gone. Just can't trust anyone these days.

Jeez, what was their motivation for that one? As a new hunter it's tough wondering how confident I should be on crown land trying to find a couple spots to scout out when all I keep hearing is of stands and cams being swiped and hunters getting run off crown land by entitled s. What's a guy to do...Quote:

No offence taken to any comments, makes sense why they end up disappearing by less than savoury folks.
How much harder does a hunt become if you're trying to hunt crown land without any trail cams? I'm able to physically scout throughout the year but sounds like its tempting the fates too much to leave trail cams out on crown.
You don't need cameras. This time of year, deer runs are very obvious. Find good runs, keeping wind direction in mind, and pick out good looking spots for a blind. I use whatever is available to make a ground blind. All my many deer have been shot from the ground. No blinds or cameras to steal !!Quote:
