If you want to keep you stands lock them up with the biggest heavies chain you can put on them. The only stand that wasn't stolen of mine off my neighbors property was the one with the heavy chain. They cut the limb off trying but the genius cut it too far forward and the chain wouldn't stretch. I'll never leave a stand out again unless I can see it from my house and on clearly posted property. Even then... Stay safe and have fun, if you are hunting deep in the woods and hear banjo music....its time to run.
I try to hold "my" ground if possible but this year a stranger was set up 20 feet behind the spot where I've have sat for 20+ years. I planned on letting my son use the spot this year and three times the stranger was there... haven't seen that stranger since the second weekend but another guy was set up about 100 feet away another time. Ugh... you'd think after 43 years of hunting those woods people would know THEY'RE MY WOODS! LOL
or just set up shop at gander, dicks or, tractor supply and follow each an every person who buys as advertised DEER corn LOL that one is the best esp when you see the ole mighty local hunters walking out with a pallet or two, and then have to listen to their BS stories about how hard hinting was and how they had to hike so far LOL
