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.

Similar stuff has been known to happen every now and then around here too. The latest was where someone else had sawed nearly all the way through the top rung of another's ladder stand.

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.

, the owner of the treestand was trespassing.

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.

Michael Palm, 60, Grovertown, was upset at a tree stand placed on what he thought was property he’d leased for hunting access, said Indiana Conservation Officer Terri Millefoglie.

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.

Guy's learn to read the whole story before making dumb azz comments!!

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?
