I throw a bike lock on my ladder stands.
Or disposed of by an anti hunter. God forbid cops run stand and game camera theft stings during hunting season...
Had a ladder stand stolen this fall actually off my family's property. We were nice enough in years past to turn an eye to all the kids riding their mountain bikes and atvs on the land but after that we dropped a bunch of trees over all the trails. Its a shame. Actually had some yuppie put signs on all of our stands saying Archery only no guns. Funny because we own 42 acres and the stands are smack dab in the middle. Well past the 500ft requirement. Now I make sure to only hunt that stands during shotgun and rifle season.
they do in ME. I saw on that stupid north woods law show. they have gps trackers in stands and hunt down the thieves. I don't think the MA EPO's give a shit about hunters.
It's a shame that people have to be so shitty that something like this is even warranted.
Wow, by reading this thread apparently there's a whole lot of thieves amongst hunters. You wouldn't think because of the risk of meeting someone with a rifle in the middle of the deep woods that you'd be so brazen to steal their stuff.
Those guys are hunters like Rosenthal is a gun owner.
