I posted a couple ideas of how to get even with the stand thieves yesterday and now I don't see the post. Could it have been deleted for being a little to severe?
Crime will not be reduced until Criminals fear, I said FEAR, punishment!
yeah that sucks i had to work opening day of bow went out when i got off meet my brither and cousin at our woods we all walked back to our stands mine was the farthest one back and it was gone they thought i just couldnt find it but it was gone and then a couple weeks later so was are trail cam.
I'm going to be putting up some more signs that say no tresspassing, and now the thought has even crossed my mind to put some spikes in their 4wheeler trail.
I did a early morning hunt this morning in our woods with my ground blind since it would be warmer than sitting in the stand. Only to find out when I was getting ready to leave that I wouldn't of been able to use my main stand anyways..... someone had attempted to steal it but my cable lock stopped them. They got some of the pins out of the ladder and got the bottom of the ladder out of the ground where it had sunk in, along with unstrapped it from the tree, and took the brace that goes from the ladder to the tree. So currently the bottom of the ladder is off to the side, I guess it was stuck together thankfully, and the rest is hanging up there by just my cable lock. Thank God they didnt' have bolt cutters. I'm going back out this afternoon with a friend to take it down. And will get my other one sometime soon as well, its going to be a bit harder to work with. Needless to say I'm and if I find out who did it, or catch someone down there well they won't like what they are going to see
This was on family owned private property, only a few people are allowed to hunt it, all close family or friends. And its invisible from the road, hard to see when walking by unless you know where its at.
