Title: What Would You Do
Post by: TnTurk on March 03, 2012, 03:19:15 PM
When I first started hunting this property about 6 years ago, I noticed two 15 ft. ladder stands on it that did not belong to the landowner. They were really tight on the tree then, and now the tree has begun to grow around the stand. My question is, do I remove the stands from the tree and maybe use them somewhere else, or would that be considered stealing. I am 98% sure they have been abandoned because nobody hunts the farm except me.

Technically, they're the land owners property now, if he doesn't mind I would use them as my own.

x2. If he doesn't hunt, i'm sure he won't care. However, out of respect always ask.
